Fresno, California, got its name from the Spanish word "fresno," which means "ash tree." The name was chosen due to the abundance of ash trees in the area, particularly along the banks of the nearby San Joaquin River. The city was officially founded in 1872 as a railroad station for the Central Pacific Railroad, and the name reflected the local flora.
