History of Modesto, California

Modesto is the county seat of Stanislaus County in the U.S. state of California. As of the United States Census 2000, the city population was 188,856. Current census estimates place the population at 206,300. According to the California State Department of Finance 1/6/06 estimate, 514,370 people live in the Modesto Metropolitan Statistical Area. Roughly 110 miles from Yosemite National Park, 80 miles from Sacramento, California's capital city, and about 90 miles from both San Jose and San Francisco, Modesto is less than 2 hours from many prime locations in California. This proximity to major business centers has turned the agriculturally based city into a bedroom community.
