Selma

Founded along this street in the late spring and early
summer of 1880 by Jacob E. Whitson, George B. Otis,
Monroe Snyder and E. H. Tucker as a 40 acre townsite
mapped from Whitson's homestead and wheat field.
Selma boomed and first prospered here but a series of
fires shifted most growth and the main business
district across the tracks. Incorporation in March 1893
made Selma the second city in Fresno County.
