| | Fresno, California - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Estimates by the California Department of Finance (2005) approximate a city population of 464,727 and a metropolitan area of 1,002,284. |
 | | Because it sits at the junction of Highways 41 and 99 (41 is the park's southern access road, and 99 branches east from Interstate 5 to serve the urban centers of the San Joaquin Valley), the city is a major gateway for visitors coming from Los Angeles. |
 | | Other highways include the recently-completed California State Highway 168 that leads to the city of Clovis and Huntington Lake, California State Highway 41 that comes into Fresno from the south via Visalia, and California State Highway 180 that comes from the west via Mendota. |
