The birthplace of California's citrus industry

Attractive Family-Friendly Agriculture Visalia Outdoor Activities

The very first orange trees in California were planted in Lindsay, a small city in the central part of the state. The orange trees were planted by Julius Orton in the 1880s after he arrived for the California Gold Rush. While he struck out with gold, he is credited for starting the state's citrus industry. Orton was a descendant of Thomas Orton, a pilgrim who arrived to Boston Harbor in 1635. Today, Lindsay is an All-America City, home to roughly 12,000 residents. It is located roughly 18 miles southeast of Visalia.

The McDermont Field House acts as the city's gathering place, hosting events and providing such recreational activities as its Flowrider, Eagle Mountain Rock Wall, an interactive arcade, indoor soccer fields, multi-purpose sports courts, laser tag, and an aquatic center. Lindsay is also home to several parks and the Lindsay Municipal Golf Course. For more adventure, the Sequoia National Forest is just east of Lindsay.
