A temporary rough board building, containing county offices, was erected near the spot in the fall of 1874, about the time the cornerstone was laid for the original permanent courthouse. Fresno was selected by the voters in a previous spring election to replace Millerton as the county seat.

This plaque commemorates the 100th anniversary of the move from the gold mining foothill community to the new railroad town on the valley plains.
