Fresno City College was built up by Charles L. McLane, then-administrator of Fresno Schools. It was McLane's vision to convey advanced education to the Central Valley. After a fizzled endeavor to begin a typical school, he turned his consideration regarding building up the state's first junior school. McLane used the 1907 Upward Extension Law that gave nearby secondary schools consent to give the initial two years of college guideline. The new junior school turned into an expansion of Fresno High School, which at the time was situated at Stanislaus and O lanes in downtown Fresno.
In the spring of 1910, McLane sent a round to the group to figure out what sort of interest existed in building up a lesser school. He reviewed benefactors of Fresno High School and nearby principals. He got more than 200 reactions which were all great. He didn't get even one protest. With these outcomes close by, he then answered to the Board of Education the need a lesser school in Fresno to serve the Central Valley.
