History of Cutler
Cutler's history is closely tied to the railroad. In 1897, train tracks reached the town. The San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley Railroad built a station and offered rides for people and goods. Cutler was an important stop on the Visalia District line.
In 1899, this railroad became part of the Santa Fe Railroad. Later, in 1914, another rail line was added just east of town. Cutler remained a key rail junction until the 1970s. However, as fewer goods were shipped by train, the Santa Fe Railroad sold the lines in 1992. Soon after, the tracks were taken up.
