Sanger
Founded in 1888
Situated in Central California, heart of the world’s richest farmland, the City of Sanger embraces its agricultural
heritage while building a diversified economic future. Sanger’s award-winning schools are among the best
in the State and they epitomize the values of innovation and determination that brought this fertile land to
productive life in the late 1800’s.
While agriculture and companies processing and packing agricultural products continue to exert major
economic influence, companies engaged in the fabrication of precision parts and machinery, corrugated
products, structural steel and other vital construction components, have made their home in Sanger’s
expanding Industrial Parks.
Sanger is less than 4 hours from Los Angeles, 3 hours from San Francisco, and less than one hour from the
Giant Sequoia tress in Kings Canyon National Park. Residents also appreciate the short scenic drive to the
world-renowned California coast.
Rail America offers economic freight shipments to and from Sanger industries, while Fresno-Yosemite
International Airport provides air freight service only 20 minutes from Sanger. Sanger’s population of
approximately 25,000 provides a small town atmosphere, yet is only 20 minutes from Central California’s
largest metropolitan shopping area. With a wide selection attractive and affordable housing, a Mediterranean
climate, and substantial local business incentives, the City of Sanger is strategically situated to take advantage
of the California market and its 38 million customers.
