Lindsay, CA 21 Apartments for Rent

Lindsay City, home of the biggest olive in the world.

Lindsay is a city in the state of California and is part of Tulare County, covering an area of 2.6 square miles. It was named after Sadie Lindsay Hutchinson, wife of the city's founder Captain Arthur Hutchinson. For centuries, it was a rich hunting and fishing grounds for Native Americans until the first settlers arrived and built homesteads. Development started with the coming of the Southern Pacific Railroad in 1889. Today, the city still reaps the gifts of rich Central Valley lands, cultivating the most fertile olive and orange groves in the US. The world's biggest olive is found here, and it never rots.
