Turlock

Turlock combines a calm university-town rhythm with the working intensity of California’s Central Valley, reflecting its position amid the irrigated farmland of Stanislaus County. The Tuolumne River flows south of the city, while orchards, dairies and field crops remain central to the surrounding economy. Turlock Irrigation District, created in 1887, helped bring dependable water to this dry agricultural area. California State University, Stanislaus gives the city a student presence and hosts cultural events on its campus. Downtown’s Carnegie Arts Center, housed in a restored 1916 Carnegie library, anchors local exhibitions and performances. See how Turlock connects with the Central Valley by browsing webcams nearby.
