History

Fresno was originally called Jacktown.[4] The residents apparently didn't like the name Jacktown, and the community was renamed Avondale by popular vote.[5] A post office was established under the name Avondale in 1875, and the name of the post office was changed to Fresno in 1905.[6]

Notable person

World-class runner Brian Olinger grew up in Fresno and attended Ridgewood High School.[7]
