History

In 1876, the I.N. Parlier family migrated from Springfield, Illinois to the present site of Parlier. The family’s name, and city’s namesake, was derived from DeParlier, their French ancestry. The Parlier family’s general store, trading post and post office became the center of town. Small, family-run wheat farms were initially cultivated in the area. Wheat soon gave way to grapes, raisins and tree fruit, foods that Parlier continues to produce. Improved irrigation systems and arrival of the railroad helped Parlier establish itself as a hub among surrounding communities.

Public schools

Parlier has four elementary schools, one junior high school, and one high school. In addition, there is a preschool and Head Start program, as well as continuing education.
