EXCALIBUR MOBILE DETAIL - Key Persons

Large, enduring public park dotted with grand old oaks, historic buildings & a lagoon with boats. In the 1850s, when Euro-American settlers first began to occupy what is now the Visalia area, they found an extensive forest of valley oak trees (Quercus lobata) growing across the delta of the Kaweah River. The towering trees covered a large triangular wedge of land that had its eastern point near Lemon Cove where the Kaweah emerged from the Sierra and extended westward all the way to the shores of Tulare Lake southwest of modern Corcoran.
