The City of Huron was founded in 1877 and
incorporated in 1951. Huron lies in the San Joaquin Valley's
vast Westside region. Our City is nine miles east of
interstate 5 (I-5) and three miles south of Highway 198.
Lassen Avenue runs north and south through the City, providing easy
access for local produce to major
markets.
Over 7,400 residents call
Huron home. During the long harvest season, April to November,
the City's population swells to over 15,000 at the height of the
season and 9,000 is the average. The local economy is
primarily based on agriculture and Ag-related industry.
The City of Fresno, the County Seat, is
fifty miles to the north and San Francisco and Los Angeles are
within a three hour drive.
Huron has been designated as an Enterprise
Zone Community.
