Places to stay in Tulare, California

Tulare is a city in Tulare County, California. Just eight miles south of Visalia, it is part of the Census Bureau's designation of the Visalia Metropolitan Area. The city is named for the currently dry Tulare Lake, once the largest freshwater lake west of the Great Lakes. The city's mission statement is: "To promote a quality of life making Tulare the most desirable community in which to live, learn, play, work, worship and prosper. " The Stockton seaport is only 170 miles away, and the Sacramento port is 207 miles away. The Los Angeles and San Francisco ports are each approximately 200 miles away, making Tulare a hub or central location for product movement. Despite this,the expression "out in the tules ", referring to the Tule rush plant that lined the lakeshore, is still common in the dialect of old Californian families and means "beyond far away. " Places to eat in the region include Jean Jean Chinese Restaurant, Emerton Club, Rice Bowl Chinese Diner, and China Garden.

If you are travelling in the area, Tulare is located close to Saint Pauls School, Visalia Friends Meeting House, Cypress Elementary School, County Center Shopping Center and Carrie Barnett School.
