Turlock

Turlock, a key agricultural city in the Central Valley, sees frequent accidents along CA-99. These incidents can delay travel and affect the flow of goods and people through this vibrant farming community.
 
Turlock is one of numerous cities throughout central California which traces its roots to the Railroad. After the Transcontinental Railroad completed running the final spike in Utah, spurs began to appear all over the west. When naming a stopping off point along one route, plans were made to name the place Turlough, after a city in Ireland. However, the Central Pacific had already used that name elsewhere, so planners decided on a new spelling. Turlock. Different letters, same sound.
 
Bathed in the moist, warm sun-drenched days of central California, the lush farmlands surrounding Turlock are a vision. Green fields as far as the eye can see against a backdrop of in fact, one of the biggest events in Turlock occurs between May and October. From 8AM to 1PM every Saturday, Main Street Downtown becomes a large, open-air Farmers Market. The produce found in Stanislaus County is among the best in the nation and people come from all over the state to take in the annual summer Market.
