Reedley is a city in Fresno County, California, United States. It is located in the San Joaquin Valley, 22 miles (35 km) east-southeast of Fresno,[10] at an elevation of 348 feet (106 m).[8] The population at the 2010 census was 24,194. Its chief economic source is agriculture, particularly fruit and vegetable cultivation and has thus dubbed itself "The World's Fruit Basket".[1] Reedley is situated along the Kings River, downstream from Centerville.

Reedley hosts several cultural festivals, including but not limited to the Reedley Fiesta,[11] and the Electrical Farm Equipment Parade.[12]

Reedley is named for Thomas Law Reed, a Civil War veteran who gave half of his holdings to the township in 1888.[13]
