Tulare ( /tuːlɛəriː/) is a city in Tulare County, California, United States. The population was 59,278 at the 2010 census.
Just eight miles (13 km) south of Visalia, it is part of the Census Bureau's designation of the Visalia Metropolitan Area. The city is named for the currently dry Tulare Lake, once the largest freshwater lake west of the Great Lakes. The city's mission statement is: 'To promote a quality of life making Tulare the most desirable community in which to live, learn, play, work, worship and prosper.' The Stockton seaport is only 170 miles (270 km) away, and the Sacramento port is 207 miles (333 km) away. The Los Angeles and San Francisco ports are each approximately 200 miles (320 km) away, making Tulare a hub or central location for product movement. Despite this, the expression 'out in the tules (toolies)', referring to the tule rush plant that lined the lakeshore, is still common in the dialect of old Californian families and means 'beyond far away.'
The 2010 United States Census reported that Tulare had a population of 59,278. The population density was 2,820.5 people per square mile (1,089.0/km²).
