We have also been designated a Recycling Market Development Zone City in 1992. The City was Incorporated on May 7, 1902, and uses a Council and Manager form of Government.

The Porterville Area also includes the communities of Lindsay, Strathmore, Springville, Ducor, Terra Bella, Poplar, Woodville, Camp Nelson, and the Tule Indian Reservation. Also included are many sections of Tulare County and numerous mountain communities.   LOCAL ACTIVITIES Less than 2 hours away from the High Sierra recreation areas, you'll find the Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks and the Sequoia National Forest. The Porterville area is abundant with wildlife such as deer, wild pigs, rabbits, squirrels, quail and many other small game.
