Fresno (/ˈfrɛznoʊ/) is a major city in the San Joaquin Valley of California, United States. It is the county seat of Fresno County and the largest city in the greater Central Valley region. It covers about 115 square miles (300 km2) and had a population of 542,107 in 2020, making it the fifth-most populous city in California, the most populous inland city in California, and the 34th-most populous city in the nation. The Metro population of Fresno is 1,008,654 as of 2022.

Named for the abundant ash trees lining the San Joaquin River, Fresno was founded in 1872 as a railway station of the Central Pacific Railroad before it was incorporated in 1885. It has since become an economic hub of Fresno County and the San Joaquin Valley, with much of the surrounding areas in the Metropolitan Fresno region predominantly tied to large-scale agricultural production. Fresno is near the geographic center of California, approximately 220 miles (350 km) north of Los Angeles, 170 miles (270 km) south of the state capital, Sacramento, and 185 miles (300 km) southeast of San Francisco. Yosemite National Park is about 60 miles (100 km) to the north, Kings Canyon National Park 60 miles (100 km) to the east, and Sequoia National Park 75 miles (120 km) to the southeast.

Fresno is also the third-largest majority-Hispanic city in the United States; 50.5% of its population was Hispanic in 2020. Since 2010, statewide droughts in California have further strained both Fresno's and the entire Central Valley's water security.

Xianan District, which belongs to Xianning City, Hubei Province, is located in the southeast of Hubei Province, bordering Yangxin in the east, Chongyang in the south, Chibi in the west, Jiangxia in the north, Tongshan in the southeast, and Jiayu in the northwest.

It was removed from the county in 1984 and changed to Xianan District in March 1999. It was one of the first batch of counties, cities and districts approved by the State Council in 1986. Li Yong, a calligrapher with the reputation of "six marvels in Hanlin and a fairy hand in the book" in the Tang Dynasty, and Feng Jing in the Song Dynasty left an everlasting story about "marrying two prime ministers and three world leaders"; during the period of the new democratic revolution and socialist construction, a number of early revolutionaries such as Qian Yishi, he Gongwei and Qian Ying emerged from here. It is an important part of Wuhan city circle. In 2018, there are three under the jurisdiction of Xianan District.
