Etheda Springs is a small, unincorporated community located in Fresno County, California. An unincorporated community means it's a place where people live, but it doesn't have its own local government like a city or town. Instead, it's managed by the county government.

Exploring Etheda Springs

Etheda Springs is found about 7 miles (11 kilometers) east-southeast of a place called Dunlap. It sits at a high elevation of 4,222 feet (1,287 meters) above sea level. This high location often means the area has different weather and plant life compared to lower parts of California.

What is an Unincorporated Community?

Imagine a neighborhood that isn't part of a city. That's kind of what an unincorporated community is! It's a group of homes or businesses that are directly under the control of the county. This means the county provides services like roads, police, and fire protection, instead of a local city hall.

Etheda Springs is nestled within Fresno County, which is a large county in the central part of California. The county is known for its rich agricultural lands, but also for its diverse landscapes, including mountains and valleys.
