Merced County
by Wickipedia
Merced County (pronounced “Mer-SED”), is a county located in the Central Valley of the U.S. state of California, north of Fresno and southeast of San Jose. As of 2000 the population was 210,554. The county seat is Merced. The county is named after the Merced River.
Merced County was formed in 1855 from parts of Mariposa County. Parts of its territory were given to Fresno County in 1856.
The county derives its name from the Merced River, or El Río de Nuestra Señora de la Merced (River of Our Lady of Mercy); named in 1806 by an expedition, headed by Gabriel Moraga, which came upon it at the end of a hot dusty ride.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 1,972 square miles (5,107 km²), of which, 1,929 square miles (4,995 km²) of it is land and 43 square miles (112 km²) of it (2.19%) is water.
