Dinuba, California

Dinuba is a city in Tulare County, California, United States.

Various theories about the origin exist, including that it is a misspelled reference to the Danubian people, who resisted the Romans in antiquity.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 6.5 square miles (17 km2), all of it land.
