City of Kingsburg

City of Kingsburg
Heavily influenced by Swedish immigration in the late 1800's, the city has maintained that theme and is nicknamed "The Swedish Village." More important than the location and beauty of the City is the genuine "family orientation" of the community. Neighbors care about each other, the crime rate is very low and citizens take pride in the appearance of their community.
