About Kerman

Kerman is a Fresno County city at the junction of State Routes 180 and 145, west of Fresno in the San Joaquin Valley. Its modern origin is tied to the Southern Pacific Railroad line built between Tracy and Fresno in the 1890s. Today Kerman serves surrounding farms and agricultural communities, with Kerman Unified School District covering the city and nearby areas. It feels like a practical Central Valley town: flat land, hot summers, farm traffic, schools, and a direct connection to Fresno's larger economy.
