The city

The Heart of the Valley.

Turlock is an agriculture-rooted city of roughly 73,000 people, built around almond and dairy country and known for being genuinely friendly.

Founded in 1871 and incorporated in 1908, Turlock grew up around the railroad and the farms that surround it. Today it is the second-largest city in Stanislaus County, home to the Turlock Irrigation District, Foster Farms and a strong agricultural economy of almonds, dairy and poultry.

The city's character shows up in its calendar: the Stanislaus County Fair arrives every July, downtown's Turlock Community Theatre and Carnegie Arts Center draw crowds year-round, and Turlock Lake State Recreation Area and the Hilmar Cheese Company visitor center make for easy weekend outings.
