Burrel (formerly, Burrell) is an unincorporated community in Fresno County, California.[1] It is located 30 miles (48 km) southwest of Fresno,[3] at an elevation of 203 feet (62 m).[1]
Burrel is located midway between California State Route 99 and Interstate 5.[4]
The place is named for Cuthbert Burrel, owner of a nearby ranch.[3] In the 1850s and 1860s, nearby Elkhorn Station functioned as a stage stop.[3] A post office was established at Burrel in 1912,[3] but was eventually shut down, with mail now routed through nearby Riverdale. By 1971, Burrel had only 43 residents, a store, and a post office.[5]
Burrel's only school is Burrel Union Elementary, which is Kindergarten through 8th grades. Students in the district usually attend high school in Riverdale.
