In the heart of California’s Central Valley, Turlock is the second largest city in Stanislaus County with a population that has grown steadily from 13,992 in 1970 to over 70,000 today. Home of California State University Stanislaus (CSUS), Turlock provides an unusual opportunity to combine a quality learning environment with relaxed rural living.
Turlock has an abundance of things to see and do. The city is home to 24 parks and many arts and culture venues, galleries, museums, restaurants, and shopping areas, such as Monte Vista Crossing and Turlock Shopping Center. Several National Parks are only a short drive away.
Turlock is less than a two-hour drive away from the major cities of Sacramento and San Francisco so it’s easy to take a day trip to these other areas and see their world-class attractions.
Many festivals and events take place in Turlock throughout the year including the Almond Festival, the Assyrian Festival, and Central Valley Brewfest.
