Strawberry was thought to be the original home of the fictional character Heath Barkley in the 1960s television western The Big Valley starring Lee Majors and Barbara Stanwyck. However, given the appearance of a dry desert town and closer distance from Stockton, CA on the show, Heath's home town was more likely the mining town of Strawberry Valley whose post office opened in 1850.

Strawberry, Tuolumne County, California was the inspiration for the small tourist town of Strawberry in Rockstar Games'/Take-Two Interactive's 2018 video game Red Dead Redemption 2.
