[edit] Unfortunate turn or phrase

...discovered during a search by Spaniards...
"Discovered" implies that the area was uninhabited before, or that the original people were insignificant. There certainly were Native peoples in the area (I'll have to look up which, but I believe Yokuts, Mono, and Miwok for sure).--CodeGeneratR 17:01, 12 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Citation Needed

"The county withdrew 3.7 billion gallons of fresh water per day in 2000, more than any other county in the United States."

[edit] Add Routes

Sorry for not logging in before adding all these highways, but they ARE verified, I have personally driven on all of them in the past 3 years. (Also helps that I'm a native!) I'll be updating any further route additions under Edit Centric, so the changes will be attributable to a single user...69.225.1.190 13:57, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] mention notable author

Could there be mentioned that this town was the home town of William Saroyan? There is theatre named after him, so maybe somewhere near that?--Paxik 10:19, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
