    About Selma

    About 17 miles south of Fresno, Selma, California is an agricultural community in the state’s Central Valley. As miners and settlers flooded into California after gold was discovered near Sacramento in 1848, transportation routes sprang up throughout the state. Fresno County was founded in 1856 and it wasn’t long before the Central Pacific Railroad established passenger and freight stations throughout the Central Valley from Sacramento to Bakersfield and on to Los Angeles. The new town, named after Selma Michelsen, the wife of a railroad employee, grew up around one of those depots with the first train passing through in 1872. Farmers naturally congregated to the place and were soon harvesting wheat in the Central Valley’s fertile soil. By 1880 the town had a grain warehouse, general store, hotel and post office. Unfortunately, overproduction of the soil began to take its toll on the previously abundant wheat crops. Farmers, however, were quick to diversify and were soon planting orchards and vineyards to replace the wheat fields. Before long, raisins became a major crop in Selma, so much so that by 1963 the Selma area was growing 90 percent of the world’s raisins and the town adopted the moniker “Raisin Capital of the World.” After World War II, Selma began to expand with the building of Highway 99 connecting to Fresno and Bakersfield. Today, while many residents make the daily commute into Fresno, the town has retained its agricultural roots and small town charm.

    It’s certain that a Selma tutor will get you caught up on your most difficult academic subjects so you can take time to enjoy Selma, Fresno and the surrounding areas. The city of Selma maintains several public parks and a variety of recreational opportunities. Shafer Park features athletic fields, playgrounds, basketball courts and walking trails. Berry Park offers the usual amenities as well as a skateboard park complete with ramps, jumps and lights for nighttime skateboarding. Pioneer Village is open for weddings and private gatherings. The 15-acre park is the site of several historic buildings from the 1880’s assembled there by Art Gonzales in 1980. The buildings include a Queen Anne Victorian, a railroad depot and Selma’s first school. There are also picnic facilities throughout the area.

    Established in 1985 at C.F. Unger Hall, the Selma Arts Center is the cultural center of the city offering a wide range of programs and events. The Center presents plays, musicals and various stage performances such as Gypsy, The Hunchback of Notre Dame and The Lion King. The Cool Kid Players caters to young actors and those interested in the theater. The center also holds periodic visual arts and ceramic classes for Selma residents.

    It’s just a few miles north from Selma to The Fresno Discovery Center. Originally the Junior Museum of Science and Natural History, the Discovery Center is in the northeast portion of Fresno. The center is highlighted by the children’s museum with interactive exhibits which seek to spark an interest in the environment and physical sciences. The Center’s educational programs cater to elementary students with classes such as Animal Mania, Pond Life and Dino-Mite. The museum also hosts birthday parties including a private party room and an exciting day at the museum.
