Stanislaus County
by Wickipedia
Stanislaus County is a county located in the Central Valley of the state of California, between Stockton and Fresno. As the price of housing has increased in the San Francisco Bay Area, many people who work in the southern reaches of the Bay Area have opted for the longer commute and moved to Stanislaus County for the relatively affordable housing. As of 2000 the population was 446,997. The county seat is Modesto.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 1,515 square miles (3,923 km²), of which, 1,494 square miles (3,869 km²) of it is land and 21 square miles (54 km²) of it (1.38%) is water. There are a number or rare and endangered species found in Stanislaus County. The Beaked Clarkia, (Clarkia rostrata), is listed as a candidate for the Federal Endangered Species List. It has only been found in blue oak-digger pine associations in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, a habitat which occurs at moderately high elevations. Colusa Grass, (Neostapfsia colusana) is listed as endangered by the State. It is restricted to vernal pools. (Torrey, 1989)
Stanislaus County has historically been divided socially and economically by the north-flowing San Joaquin River, which provided a natural barrier to trade and travel for much of the county’s history. Isolated from the main rail corridors through the county and the irrigation projects that generated much of the region’s economic prosperity, the part of Stanislaus County west of the river (known to locals as the “West Side” of the county) has largely remained rural and economically dependent on agricultural activities. Because of its proximity to Interstate 5 and the California Aqueduct some towns within this area, including Patterson and Newman, have experienced tremendous growth and are being transformed into bedroom communities for commuters from the nearby San Francisco Bay Area, while others (including Westley and Crows Landing) have been almost entirely overlooked by development and remain tiny farming communities.
