Stanislaus County makes up the Modesto [[metropolitan statistical area]]. The county is located just east of the [[San Francisco Bay Area]] and serves as a [[bedroom community]] for those who work in the eastern part of the Bay Area.


==History==
==History==
The first European to see the area was [[Gabriel Moraga]] in 1806.
Stanislaus County was formed from part of [[Tuolumne County, California|Tuolumne County]] in [[1854]].


The word ''Stanislaus'' is a corruption of ''[[Estanislao]]'', the baptismal name of a mission-educated renegade [[Native American]] chief who led a band of Indians in a series of battles against [[Mesico|Mexican]] troops. He was finally defeated by General [[Mariano Vallejo]] in [[1826]]. The county is named for the [[Stanislaus River]], first discovered by [[Gabriel Moraga]] in [[1806]], and later renamed Rio Estanislao for the chief.
The county was named after the Estanislao River, which in turn was named in honor of [[Estanislao]], a mission-educated [[Turncoat|renegade]] [[Native Americans in the United States|Native American]] chief who led a band of Native Americans in a series of battles against [[Mexico|Mexican]] troops until finally being defeated by [[General]] [[Mariano Vallejo]] in 1826. Estanislao was his baptismal name, the Spanish name version after [[Stanislaus of Szczepanów|Saint Stanislaus the Martyr]].


Between 1843 and 1846, when California was a province of independent Mexico, five [[Ranchos of California|Mexican land grants]] totaling {{convert|113135|acre|km2 mi2|0}} were granted in Stanislaus County. [[Rancho Orestimba y Las Garzas]], [[Rancho Pescadero (Grimes)|Rancho Pescadero]] and [[Rancho Del Puerto]] were located on the west side of the San Joaquin River, and [[Rancho Del Rio Estanislao]] and [[Rancho Thompson]] were on the north side of the Stanislaus River. Additionally in 1844, [[Salomon Pico]] received a Mexican land grant of {{convert|58000|acre|km2 mi2|0}} in the [[San Joaquin Valley]], somewhere near the [[Stanislaus River]] and the [[San Joaquin River]] in what is now Stanislaus County. However, the grant was never confirmed by the land commission.<ref>Land Commission records, [http://www.oac.cdlib.org/view?docId=hb109nb422;query=Pico;style=oac4;view=dsc;dsc.position=1#hitNum2 BANC MSS Land Case Files 245 NDL and Case 245 ND Eleven Leagues, San Joaquín and Estanislao Rivers (also called "Land, Tuolumne") (Stanislaus County). Claimant: James L. Ord, Grantee: Soloman Pico, Associated Case Numbers: Docket 632, 245 ND, Associated Maps: None, Coordinates: Unknown, Rancho Name: None]</ref>
== Geography ==
According to the [[United States Census Bureau|U.S. Census Bureau]], the county has a total area of 3,923 [[square kilometer|km&sup2;]] (1,515 [[square mile|mi&sup2;]]). 3,869 km&sup2; (1,494 mi&sup2;) of it is land and 54 km&sup2; (21 mi&sup2;) of it is water. The total area is 1.38% water.


Stanislaus County was formed from part of [[Tuolumne County, California|Tuolumne County]] in 1854. The county seat was first situated at Adamsville, then moved to Empire in November, La Grange in December, and Knights Ferry in 1862, and was ultimately fixed at the present location in Modesto in 1871.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.stanct.org/history-stanislaus-county-superior-court|title=History of Stanislaus County Superior Court|website=stanct.org|access-date=February 23, 2020}}</ref>
== Demographics ==
As of the [[census]][[Geographic references|<sup>2</sup>]] of [[2000]], there are 446,997 people, 145,146 households, and 109,585 families residing in the county. The [[population density]] is 116/km&sup2; (299/mi&sup2;). There are 150,807 housing units at an average density of 39/km&sup2; (101/mi&sup2;). The racial makeup of the county is 69.33% [[Race (U.S. census)|White]], 2.58% [[Race (U.S. census)|Black]] or [[Race (U.S. census)|African American]], 1.27% [[Race (U.S. census)|Native American]], 4.22% [[Race (U.S. census)|Asian]], 0.34% [[Race (U.S. census)|Pacific Islander]], 16.82% from [[race (U.S. census)|other races]], and 5.44% from two or more races. 31.74% of the population are [[Race (U.S. census)|Hispanic]] or [[Race (U.S. census)|Latino]] of any race.


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]].
There are 145,146 households out of which 41.20% have children under the age of 18 living with them, 56.00% are married couples living together, 13.70% have a female householder with no husband present, and 24.50% are non-families. 19.40% of all households are made up of individuals and 7.90% have someone living alone who is 65 years of age or older. The average household size is 3.03 and the average family size is 3.47.


==Geography==
In the county the population is spread out with 31.10% under the age of 18, 9.80% from 18 to 24, 29.00% from 25 to 44, 19.50% from 45 to 64, and 10.40% who are 65 years of age or older. The median age is 32 years. For every 100 females there are 96.80 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there are 93.40 males.
According to the [[U.S. Census Bureau]], the county has a total area of {{convert|1515|sqmi}}, of which {{convert|20|sqmi}} (1.3%) are covered by water.<ref name="GR1">{{cite web|url=https://www.census.gov/geographies/reference-files/time-series/geo/gazetteer-files.html|publisher=[[United States Census Bureau]]|access-date=April 23, 2011|date=February 12, 2011|title=US Gazetteer files: 2010, 2000, and 1990}}</ref>


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 (California)|Interstate 5]] and the [[California Aqueduct]], some towns within this area, including [[Patterson, California|Patterson]] and [[Newman, California|Newman]], have experienced tremendous growth and are being transformed into [[Commuter town|bedroom communities]] for [[Commuting|commuters]] from the nearby San Francisco Bay Area, while others (including [[Westley, California|Westley]] and [[Crows Landing, California|Crows Landing]]) have been almost entirely overlooked by development and remain tiny farming communities.
The median income for a household in the county is $40,101, and the median income for a family is $44,703. Males have a median income of $36,969 versus $26,595 for females. The per capita income for the county is $16,913. 16.00% of the population and 12.30% of families are below the poverty line. Out of the total people living in poverty, 20.50% are under the age of 18 and 8.80% are 65 or older.


== Cities and towns ==
===Flora and fauna===
A number or rare and [[endangered species]] are 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]]-[[gray pine]] associations in the [[foothills]] of the [[Sierra Nevada (U.S.)|Sierra Nevada]], a [[habitat]] that occurs at moderately high elevations. Colusa grass, (''[[Neostapfsia]] colusana'') is listed as endangered by the state. It is restricted to [[vernal pool]]s.<ref>John Torrey, Paul Awosika et al., ''Expanded initial study, Boulder Creek subdivision, Stanislaus County'', Earth Metrics, Report 7999: California State Clearinghouse, Sacramento, November 1989.</ref>

===2010 Census===
The [[2010 United States Census]] reported that Stanislaus County had a population of 514,453. The racial makeup of Stanislaus County was 337,342 (65.6%) White, 14,721 (2.9%) African American, 5,902 (1.1%) Native American, 26,090 (5.1%) Asian (1.5% Indian, 1.1% Filipino, 0.7% Cambodian, 0.5% Chinese, 0.3% Vietnamese, 0.3% Laotian, 0.1% Japanese, 0.1% Korean, 0.1% Cambodian), 3,401 (0.7%) Pacific Islander, 99,210 (19.3%) from other races, and 27,787 (5.4%) from two or more races. Hispanics or Latinos of any race were 215,658 persons (41.9%); 37.6% of Stanislaus County is Mexican, 0.6% Puerto Rican, 0.5% Salvadoran, 0.2% Nicaraguan, and 0.2% Guatemalan.<ref>{{USCensus2010CA}}</ref>

(Note - the US Census Bureau says "this system treats race and ethnicity as separate and independent categories. This means that within the federal system, everyone is classified as both a member of one of the four race groups and also as either Hispanic or non-Hispanic." Consequently, there are a total of 8 race-ethnicity categories (e.g., White-Hispanic, White-non-Hispanic, Black-Hispanic, Black non-Hispanic, etc.). That, in turn, means that the total Hispanic population is made up of each of the four groups, thus the separate distinction for Hispanic and non-Hispanic.)<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.census.gov/population/estimates/rho.txt |title=Archived copy |access-date=November 13, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170724051738/https://www.census.gov/population/estimates/rho.txt |archive-date=July 24, 2017 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

==== Overview ====
Just like neighboring [[Merced County, California|Merced County]], Stanislaus is considered a bellwether county in presidential elections. The last major-party nominee to gain over 60% of the vote was [[Lyndon B. Johnson]] in [[1964 United States presidential election in California|1964]]. Furthermore, in [[1960 United States presidential election in California|1960]], Stanislaus County was one of the most bellwether counties in terms of the popular vote, voting 0.02% more Democratic than the national average. It has voted for the winning candidate for president in every election since [[1972 United States presidential election in California|1972]], except in [[2016 United States presidential election in California|2016]] when it voted for [[Hillary Clinton]] instead of [[Donald Trump]]. In [[2020 United States presidential election in California|2020]], [[Joe Biden]] won the county in a slim victory, returning the county to its status as bellwether county. The last Democrat to win a majority in the county was [[Jimmy Carter]] in [[1976 United States presidential election in California|1976]], although [[Barack Obama]] won a [[Plurality (voting)|plurality]] in [[2008 United States presidential election in California|2008]] and [[2012 United States presidential election in California|2012]], as did [[Bill Clinton]] in both [[1992 United States presidential election in California|1992]] and [[1996 United States presidential election in California|1996]], and as Biden did in 2020.

Stanislaus County (/ˈstænɪslɔː(s)/ ⓘ;[6] Spanish: Condado de Estanislao)[7][8][9] is a county located in the San Joaquin Valley of the U.S. state of California. As of 2023, its estimated population is 564,404.[10] The county seat is Modesto.[11]

Stanislaus County makes up the Modesto metropolitan statistical area. The county is located just east of the San Francisco Bay Area and serves as a bedroom community for those who work in the eastern part of the Bay Area.

History

[edit]

The first European to see the area was Gabriel Moraga in 1806.

The county was named after the Estanislao River, which in turn was named in honor of Estanislao, a mission-educated renegade Native American chief who led a band of Native Americans in a series of battles against Mexican troops until finally being defeated by General Mariano Vallejo in 1826. Estanislao was his baptismal name, the Spanish name version after Saint Stanislaus the Martyr.

Between 1843 and 1846, when California was a province of independent Mexico, five Mexican land grants totaling 113,135 acres (458 km2; 177 sq mi) were granted in Stanislaus County. Rancho Orestimba y Las Garzas, Rancho Pescadero and Rancho Del Puerto were located on the west side of the San Joaquin River, and Rancho Del Rio Estanislao and Rancho Thompson were on the north side of the Stanislaus River. Additionally in 1844, Salomon Pico received a Mexican land grant of 58,000 acres (235 km2; 91 sq mi) in the San Joaquin Valley, somewhere near the Stanislaus River and the San Joaquin River in what is now Stanislaus County. However, the grant was never confirmed by the land commission.[12]

Stanislaus County was formed from part of Tuolumne County in 1854. The county seat was first situated at Adamsville, then moved to Empire in November, La Grange in December, and Knights Ferry in 1862, and was ultimately fixed at the present location in Modesto in 1871.[13]

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.

Geography

[edit]

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 1,515 square miles (3,920 km2), of which 20 square miles (52 km2) (1.3%) are covered by water.[14]

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.

Flora and fauna

[edit]

A number or rare and endangered species are 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-gray pine associations in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, a habitat that occurs at moderately high elevations. Colusa grass, (Neostapfsia colusana) is listed as endangered by the state. It is restricted to vernal pools.[15]

Places by population, race, and income

[edit]

2010 Census

[edit]

The 2010 United States Census reported that Stanislaus County had a population of 514,453. The racial makeup of Stanislaus County was 337,342 (65.6%) White, 14,721 (2.9%) African American, 5,902 (1.1%) Native American, 26,090 (5.1%) Asian (1.5% Indian, 1.1% Filipino, 0.7% Cambodian, 0.5% Chinese, 0.3% Vietnamese, 0.3% Laotian, 0.1% Japanese, 0.1% Korean, 0.1% Cambodian), 3,401 (0.7%) Pacific Islander, 99,210 (19.3%) from other races, and 27,787 (5.4%) from two or more races. Hispanics or Latinos of any race were 215,658 persons (41.9%); 37.6% of Stanislaus County is Mexican, 0.6% Puerto Rican, 0.5% Salvadoran, 0.2% Nicaraguan, and 0.2% Guatemalan.[30]

(Note - the US Census Bureau says "this system treats race and ethnicity as separate and independent categories. This means that within the federal system, everyone is classified as both a member of one of the four race groups and also as either Hispanic or non-Hispanic." Consequently, there are a total of 8 race-ethnicity categories (e.g., White-Hispanic, White-non-Hispanic, Black-Hispanic, Black non-Hispanic, etc.). That, in turn, means that the total Hispanic population is made up of each of the four groups, thus the separate distinction for Hispanic and non-Hispanic.)[31]

2000

[edit]

As of the census[32] of 2000, 446,997 people, 145,146 households, and 109,585 families were residing in the county. The population density was 299 people per square mile (115 people/km2). The 150,807 housing units had an average density of 101 units per square mile (39 units/km2). The racial/ethnic makeup of the county was 69.3% White, 2.6% Black, 4.2% Asian, 1.3% Native American, 0.3% Pacific Islander, 16.8% from other races, and 5.4% from two or more races. About 31.7% of the population were Hispanic or Latino of any race; 8.4% were of German, 6.3% English, 6.0% American, 5.5% Irish, and 5.1% Portuguese ancestry according to Census 2000. About 67.8% spoke English, 23.7% Spanish, 1.5% Syriac, and 1.3% Portuguese as their first languages.

Of the 145,146 households, 41.2% had children under 18 living with them, 56.0% were married couples living together, 13.7% had a female householder with no husband present, and 24.5% were not families. About 19.4% of all households were made up of individuals, and 7.9% had someone living alone who was 65 or older. The average household size was 3.03, and the average family size was 3.47.

In the county, the age distribution was 31.1% under 18, 9.8% from 18 to 24, 29.0% from 25 to 44, 19.5% from 45 to 64, and 10.4% who were 65 or older. The median age was 32 years. For every 100 females, there were 96.8 males. For every 100 females 18 and over, there were 93.4 males.

The median income for a household in the county was $40,101, and for a family was $44,703. Males had a median income of $36,969 versus $26,595 for females. The per capita income for the county was $16,913. About 12.3% of families and 16.0% of the population were below the poverty line, including 20.5% of those under 18 and 8.8% of those 65 or over.

Overview

[edit]

Just like neighboring Merced County, Stanislaus is considered a bellwether county in presidential elections. The last major-party nominee to gain over 60% of the vote was Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964. Furthermore, in 1960, Stanislaus County was one of the most bellwether counties in terms of the popular vote, voting 0.02% more Democratic than the national average. It has voted for the winning candidate for president in every election since 1972, except in 2016 when it voted for Hillary Clinton instead of Donald Trump. In 2020, Joe Biden won the county in a slim victory, returning the county to its status as bellwether county. The last Democrat to win a majority in the county was Jimmy Carter in 1976, although Barack Obama won a plurality in 2008 and 2012, as did Bill Clinton in both 1992 and 1996, and as Biden did in 2020.
