Fresno County is located in the heart of California. When the settlers first showed up, the landscape was barren and dusty. However, after years of digging irrigation systems, Fresno County became a lush agricultural society and many orchards and vineyards sprang up. Today, visitors often travel along the Fresno County Blossom Trail to see all of the orchards in full bloom.

In 2008, the 3M Company settled a lawsuit in Fresno County where the company agreed to pay $700,000 over a discrepancy in its scotch tape width. The Fresno County prosecutors made the argument that 3M was in violation of the state and federal Fair Packaging and Labeling Act when it advertised the tape to be 1 inch wide when in fact it was only .94 inches wide, a 6% discrepancy. The prosecutors showed this 6% discrepancy across a wide range of 3M tape products. Without admitting liability, 3M agreed to the settlement.
