==Economy== For much of the town's history, the fields around Kingsburg were mostly grape vineyards which produce mainly [[raisin]]s and table [[grape]]s; in 2002 a large surplus of raisins and grapes drove the price for these commodities down to an all-time low. Subsequently, farmers were forced to replant the fields with [[stone fruit]], or (particularly on the west side of town) sell their land to developers to help cope with the rising population. Kingsburg was the headquarters of [[Sun-Maid|Sun-Maid Growers of California]], a producer of raisins and other [[dried fruit]]s. Fresno is the Corporate Headquarters. Kingsburg is home to the world's largest box of raisins, built by students at [[California State University, Fresno]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.wlra.us/wl/wlboxofraisins.htm |title=''World's Largest Box of Raisins'' |access-date=May 5, 2004 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040410051747/http://www.wlra.us/wl/wlboxofraisins.htm |archive-date=April 10, 2004 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
