The Community:
Modesto is a vibrant community proud of its great traditions, educational opportunities, and multicultural lifestyles. Modesto is blessed year round with mild weather and some of the world’s richest soil. It is the 16th largest city in State of California with a population exceeding 210,000 people. It is the heart of Stanislaus County.
Centrally located on Highway 99, Modesto is easily accessible from throughout California. West of the valley and over the coastal mountain range lies the San Francisco Bay Area, a 90-mile drive from Modesto. Eastward are the foothills that house the famed Gold Country “Mother Lode” and headfirst into the majestic Sierra Nevada mountain range and Yosemite National Park.
Modesto’s George Lucas Plaza offers the diversity and facilities of a metropolitan city, but still maintains an atmosphere of old fashioned hospitality. Modesto’s Downtown Farmer’s Market is located in the heart of one of the greatest agricultural areas of our nation – the San Joaquin Valley. Dairy products, nuts, fruits, wine grapes and poultry products are some of our top commodities. Play a round of golf, picnic in one of our many parks, explore our antique shops or visit one of the museums. If you are a little more adventurous try River rafting in the Stanislaus River, hiking the four mile trail or rock climbing in Yosemite, or jet skiing and camping at anyone of the beautiful lakes around the area.”
