Stanislaus County is uniquely situated within the Northern San
Joaquin Valley of California, providing convenient access to amazing
National Parks and wilderness areas such as Yosemite and the Sierra,
as well as having the Pacific Ocean, San Francisco and wine country
all within a two-hour drive. Closer to home, the Gallo Center for the
Arts is “the envy of performing arts centers in the United States…,”
while festivals, sporting events, and small city living, coupled with a
lower cost of living than our Bay Area neighbors to the west, makes
Stanislaus County a best kept secret.

Our communities add much to the fabric of our county. Whether
large or small, each one is unique.
In a recent survey on Stanislaus County assets, respondents
provided a wide range of reasons for, “why Stanislaus?” Location
was mentioned most often. The beauty of location is that while
we can access all the world famous places such as San Francisco,
Napa, and Yosemite, we also enjoy the hidden gems of Stanislaus
COMMUNITIES
County. From county fairs, to rodeos, to apricot festivals, to
chocolate and cheese festivals, and more, we have it all right here.
Location was followed by lifestyle, the ability to build the type
of life we want whether in the “big city” or the small town or any
sized community in between, people have a choice. Lifestyle
was followed by affordable (low cost of living) and opportunity
(business, agriculture, personal job opportunities). Our
communities and people have found their paths to “growHERE.”
CERES
Ceres is an active and growing community of over 46,000 people that still maintains a small
neighborhood feel. The city is located just south of Modesto in one of the richest and most
diverse agricultural regions of Stanislaus County. Even the name Ceres originates from the
Roman goddess of agriculture. A vibrant local economy based in agricultural production,
together with various supporting industries and manufacturing facilities, make Ceres a city
on the rise.
HUGHSON
Hughson was incorporated in 1972, making it the youngest city in Stanislaus County. Located
a few miles southeast of Modesto and nestled amidst orchards, Hughson preserves a small
town atmosphere even as it grows. Although Hughson is a growing community, it still
maintains the small hometown feel that longtime residents have always associated with the
City. The local economy features extensive agricultural production and related industry.
MODESTO
Modesto is centrally located on Highway 99 in California’s San Joaquin Valley. It is
the county seat for fast-growing Stanislaus County with over 200,000 residents. The
revitalization of downtown Modesto offers the opportunity and incentives for infill, new
office and mixed-use high rise development. Several business parks are in development with
high-tech amenities and excellent locations. Modesto offers a great quality of life and is an
ideal business location for start-ups and expanding firms. Amidst its growth, Modesto hasn’t
forgotten what makes it special – its people.
NEWMAN
Newman is a dynamic and growing place with a strong sense of community. The City is
located on the western side of Stanislaus County and features stunning views of the Diablo
Range set in the distance. Complementing its historic downtown commercial center,
Newman is nestled amidst a rich agricultural area. Dairy farming and food processing are
among the major contributors to the local economy.
OAKDALE
The community of Oakdale is situated along the banks of the Stanislaus River. The City
of over 21,000 connects to a history rich in its rural ranching and equestrian heritage.
Throughout all four seasons, Oakdale serves as a gateway to Yosemite National Park as
well as the central Sierra Nevada Mountain Range where unlimited outdoor recreation
opportunities and natural beauty abound. Oakdale is also home to a growing number of
manufacturing firms.
PATTERSON
Patterson is a growing community strategically located in the western part of Stanislaus
County with direct access to Interstate 5. The city derives much of its economic vitality
from agriculture, food processing, and logistics centers. The city’s street layout, inspired by
the great metro areas of Paris and Washington D.C., features a circular format in the central
district surrounded by radiating spokes. Patterson is also noted for its numerous trees,
especially its historic palm-lined main thoroughfares.
RIVERBANK
Riverbank is a growing community of over 23,000 residents. Located along State Highway
108, the city was named by the Santa Fe Railroad for its proximity to the Stanislaus River.
Riverbank offers a wide variety of recreational, cultural, and social activities for people of all
ages. Agriculture, food processing, manufacturing, green industry, and the service sector are
important aspects of the local economy.
TURLOCK
Turlock is the second largest city in Stanislaus County, with 70,000 residents. Featuring
a renovated downtown business district and a regional shopping destination, Turlock is
the home of California State University, Stanislaus. The city encourages business and job
development, exemplified by the 2,600-acre Turlock Regional Industrial Park. Turlock
is centrally located to many of California’s premier destinations including San Francisco,
Yosemite, and the Pacific coast. Turlock is also home of the award winning Stanislaus
County Fair.
WATERFORD
Reflecting the area’s river fording characteristics, the name of Waterford was chosen. The
city was a leader in early irrigation and farming practices. Other than government (primarily
schools), agriculture and recreation are today’s main economic drivers in the city. Bordered
by the Tuolumne River and serving as a gateway to the area’s lakes, Yosemite National Park
and other natural amenities, Waterford is being discovered as a place with a high quality
of life.
