About Us:

The City of Kingsburg is a Charter City nestled in the center of the San Joaquin Valley, halfway between Los Angeles and Sacramento. The City was originally established in 1873 as a railroad stop under the name "Kings River Switch". During this time, many Swedish immigrants settled this new area. Even by 1921 the Swedish population was up to 94% within a given three-mile radius, this caused the community to be known as "Little Sweden". This Swedish influence can still be seen in our City today in much of the City's architecture.
