Modesto terletak di Lembah Tengah, 68 mil (109 km) sebelah selatan Sacramento dan 90 mil (140 km) sebelah utara Fresno. Jarak dari tempat lain mencakup: 40 mil (64 km) sebelah utara Merced, California, 92 mil (148 km) sebelah timur San Francisco, 66 mil (106 km) sebelah barat Taman Nasional Yosemite, dan 24 mil (39 km) sebelah selatan Stockton.

Kota ini dikelilingi oleh lahan pertanian yang subur. Kabupaten Stanislaus menempati peringkat keenam di antara kabupaten-kabupaten California dalam produksi pertanian. Tempat ini adalah rumah bagi Gallo Family Winery, produsen anggur terbesar yang dimiliki keluarga di Amerika Serikat. Dipimpin oleh susu, almond, ayam, kenari, dan silase jagung, kabupaten ini menghasilkan hampir $3,1 miliar dalam produksi pertanian pada tahun 2011. Gerakan dari pertanian ke hidangan meja memainkan peran sentral dalam kehidupan Modesto di Lembah Tengah.

Modesto telah dihormati sebagai Tree City USA berkali-kali.

Sejarah

Jalan 10th Street Modesto sekitar tahun 1890.

Kota Modesto pada awalnya adalah sebuah stasiun kereta api yang menghubungkan Sacramento dan Los Angeles, yang dibangun oleh Central Pacific Railroad. Ketika Modesto didirikan pada tahun 1870, salah satu pendiri perusahaan kereta api Mark Hopkins Jr. menyarankan untuk memberi nama kota tersebut sesuai dengan nama rekannya, seorang banker bernama William C. Ralston. Ralston meminta agar ditemukan nama lain, dan seorang karyawan kereta api berteriak keras dalam bahasa Spanyol bahwa Ralston adalah seorang yang sederhana. Pendiri perusahaan kereta api, Charles Crocker, lalu menamakan kota tersebut Modesto sebagai penghargaan terhadap kesederhanaan Ralston.

Populasi Modesto melebihi 1.000 warga pada tahun 1884. Dengan ladang gandum, Sungai Tuolumne yang berdekatan untuk tongkang gandum, dan lalu lintas kereta api, kota ini berkembang pesat. Air irigasi berasal dari bendungan yang dipasang di pegunungan, dan lapangan sayur-mayur serta pohon-pohon buah dan kacang berkembang pesat. Pada tahun 1900, populasi Modesto telah mencapai lebih dari 4.500 orang. Selama Perang Dunia II, daerah ini menyediakan makanan kaleng, susu bubuk, dan telur bagi pasukan bersenjata Amerika Serikat dan pasukan Sekutu. Selama beberapa dekade berikutnya, populasi Modesto tumbuh sekitar dua persen per tahun, mencapai lebih dari 100.000 pada tahun 1980 dan lebih dari 200.000 pada tahun 2001.

Moto resmi kota, "Water Wealth Contentment Health", terpampang di atas Gerbang Kota (downtown Modesto Arch), yang banyak dipakai dalam foto-foto dan kartu pos lokal. Motto ini dipilih melalui sebuah kontes yang diadakan pada tahun 1911, dengan hadiah $3 untuk pemenangnya. (Motto pemenang asli, "Nobody's got Modesto's goat", kemudian ditolak oleh pejabat kota). Moto Modesto kadang-kadang diparodikan sebagai "Lahan mendapat air, para bankir mendapat kekayaan, sapi mendapat kepuasan, dan para petani mendapatkan kesehatan."

Perencanaan dan lingkungan.

Pada tahun 1885, Modesto mengeluarkan apa yang sekarang dianggap sebagai peraturan zonasi pertama. Tujuan utama peraturan tersebut adalah untuk menghalau pekerjaan laundry (yang pada saat itu sebagian besar dijalankan oleh orang Tionghoa), dari kota. Setelah seorang orang yang ditangkap mengajukan penolakan atas konstitusionalitas peraturan tersebut, kasusnya merembet ke Mahkamah Agung California yang menemukan bahwa undang-undang tersebut sah konstitusional.

Pada akhir tahun 1980-an, Modesto memulai pembaruan terhadap rencana umum kota sesuai dengan persyaratan Negara Bagian California. Hasilnya adalah evaluasi komprehensif atas proyeksi populasi dan penggunaan lahan alternatif bersama dengan analisis dampak lingkungan yang terkait. Beberapa faktor lingkungan yang ditinjau secara teknis adalah kualitas udara, kualitas air, kebisingan lingkungan, pencemaran tanah, dan dampak visual.

Sebagian besar tanah di Modesto tergolong dalam seri Hanford: (HbpA) fine sandy loam, yang sedang dalam kedalaman moderat di atas silt. Tanah-tanah ini terdalam, berbutir kasar moderat, dan berasal dari aluvium batuan granit. Tanah-tanah Hanford penting untuk produksi berbagai macam kebun, pertanian, dan tanaman truk dengan penyiraman.

Sungai-sungai terdekat di sekitar kota termasuk Sungai Stanislaus, Sungai Tuolumne, dan Sungai Dry Creek yang mengalir ke Sungai Tuolumne. Air tanah daerah, yang merupakan sumber utama pasokan air di kota, secara historis mengalami kerusakan secara spasial yang berbeda-beda. Air dari Waduk Modesto yang berdekatan kini digunakan untuk memperkuat pasokan air kota. Di berbagai bagian kota dan daerah sekitarnya, pencemar air berikut ini terjadi dari waktu ke waktu: nitrat, dibromoklorometana, organik mudah teruap, salinitas, total padatan terlarut, dan pestisida lainnya. Masing-masing bahan pencemar ini tidak terdapat di seluruh kota.

EPA menilai kualitas udara di Modesto sebagai 23 dari skala 100 (skala tertinggi lebih baik), sehingga membuat Modesto menjadi tempat yang tidak sehat untuk dihuni bagi orang yang memiliki kesulitan bernapas. Hal ini didasarkan pada hari peringatan alerta ozon dan jumlah pencemar di udara. Pada bulan Mei 2010, majalah Forbes, bekerja sama dengan American Lung Association, menunjukkan bahwa Modesto adalah salah satu dari 25 kota paling tercemar di Amerika Serikat.

Pemulihan kawasan pusat kota.

Mulai tahun 2000-an, pusat kota Modesto (DOMO) memiliki atraksi baru termasuk Gallo Center for the Arts dan Downtown Plaza yang baru di sebelah Modesto Centre Plaza. Downtown Modesto telah kehilangan Hotel Covell, Strand Theatre bergaya art deco, dan bangunan Sears.

Historic 10th dan 11th streets, yang merupakan lokasi asli cruising yang ditampilkan di film American Graffiti, telah ditetapkan oleh Kota Modesto sebagai Historic Cruise Route. Saat ini, kawasan ini menjadi jalur wisatawan yang menyajikan informasi tentang kebudayaan musik, mobil, dan Graffiti di Modesto.

Pada tahun 2014, Walk of Fame diluncurkan di Historic Cruise Route dengan penanda yang memperingati legenda klasik seperti George Lucas, Gene Winfield, Bart Bartoni, dan lainnya.

Classic Community Murals diluncurkan oleh majalah ModestoView dan Peer Recovery Art Center untuk membuat serangkaian mural besar yang merayakan warisan Modesto Classic Graffiti. Banyak dari mural ini berada di Cruise Route.

Insentif bisnis baru telah dibuat untuk meningkatkan fasad, tanda, dan izin. Sebuah promenade sedang dirancang untuk menciptakan zona hiburan khusus di sepanjang koridor antara Modesto Centre Plaza dan Gallo Center for the Arts dan jalan inti yang bersebelahan dengan 10th, 11th, dan J streets.

Geografis

Modesto adalah sebuah kota di Lembah Tengah California yang dikelilingi oleh Rangkaian Pesisir dan Pegunungan Sierra Nevada. Kawasan ini merupakan salah satu produsen utama beberapa jenis tanaman pertanian yang ditanam di Amerika Serikat. Di sekitarnya, terdapat berbagai kawasan pelestarian dengan padang rumput dan pepohonan yang hijau dan sejuk.

Kota Modesto terletak antara dua sungai, yaitu Sungai Tuolumne dan Sungai Stanislaus. Terdapat pula sebuah anak sungai kecil bernama Dry Creek, namun sayangnya sangat tercemar oleh limbah pertanian. Meskipun demikian, terdapat beberapa taman yang berdekatan dengan anak sungai ini.

Di daerah sekitar Waterford terdapat beberapa sungai dan danau yang dapat diakses untuk aktifitas kayak dan perahu motor kecil. Akses ke area ini diberikan sebagai bagian dari rencana pemerintah ketika bendungan listrik hydro dipasang di hulu untuk pengendalian banjir, irigasi, dan pembangkit listrik.

Pelabuhan terbuka terbesar yang terletak dekat dengan Modesto adalah Pelabuhan Stockton. Pelabuhan ini digunakan oleh kapal laut untuk mengangkut barang, terutama semen, pupuk, dan produk pertanian dari California ke luar negeri.

Iklim

Modesto memiliki iklim semi-kering dengan batas dingin (Bsh) dan iklim Mediterania musim panas yang panas (Csa) berdasarkan klasifikasi iklim Köppen. Kota ini memiliki musim dingin yang sejuk hingga sedang dengan curah hujan yang sedang dan musim panas yang panas dan kering. Kebanyakan curah hujan terjadi selama musim dingin dan total tahunannya adalah 132 inci (3.400 mm). Curah hujan tertinggi dalam satu musim adalah 2.601 inci (66.100 mm) pada 1982-1983 dan terendah adalah 43 inci (1.100 mm) pada 1912-1913. Curah hujan biasanya datang dalam bentuk sungai atmosfer atau siklon bom dan beberapa curah hujan tertinggi dapat terjadi selama tahun-tahun El Nino. Selain itu, Modesto mengalami siklus kekeringan seperti seluruh California di mana curah hujan musiman dapat beberapa inci di bawah rata-rata pada musim kering dan beberapa inci di atas pada musim basah. Kota ini tidak memiliki sistem saluran air hujan lengkap, dan banyak jalan yang banjir selama badai hujan pada musim dingin. Hanya empat bulan dalam 100 tahun terakhir yang mencatat hujan salju yang dapat diukur dengan jumlah tertinggi sebesar 1,5 inci yang jatuh pada Januari 1962.

Rata-rata suhu tidak pernah turun di bawah 30°F dan tidak melebihi 103°F. Rata-rata suhu pada bulan Januari berkisar antara 56°F (13°C) pada siang hari hingga 34°F (1°C) di malam hari. Terdapat sekitar 20 hari per tahun yang suhunya sama atau di bawah 32°F (0°C) dan 79 hari yang sama atau di atas 90°F (32°C). Hari-hari musim dingin yang menerima curah hujan cenderung lebih hangat sementara hari-hari yang lebih kering memiliki malam beku yang memungkinkan pembentukan embun hingga pagi. Oleh karena itu, suhu musim dingin dapat bervariasi dari suhu rendah di bawah 30-an untuk bulan kering hingga 40-an pada bulan yang lebih basah. Rata-rata suhu pada bulan Juli berkisar antara 95°F (35°C) pada siang hari hingga 63°F (17°C) di malam hari. Selama bulan-bulan musim panas, dapat terjadi beberapa hari berturut-turut dengan suhu tinggi yang melebihi 100°F (38°C). Hal ini dapat menimbulkan risiko kesehatan bagi orang dengan kondisi lemah atau mereka yang mengabaikan bahaya dari heat stroke. Angin lepas pantai (dikenal sebagai "delta breeze" secara lokal) agak menurunkan suhu tinggi ini dengan udara yang lebih dingin masuk setelah pukul 8 atau 9 malam pada malam musim panas, menjadikan Modesto beberapa derajat lebih dingin daripada bagian utara dan selatan Lembah Tengah.

Crime

Rates of both violent crimes and property crimes are higher in Modesto than the state average. Of particular note is that Modesto ranks among the top car theft cities in the US. Hingga 2012^[update], Modesto ranked number 1 in car thefts per 100,000 people, although the city dropped to number 3 in 2013, behind Bakersfield and Fresno. In Modesto the crime rate is higher than 86% of California's cities.

Arts and culture

The Rockabilly genre of music originated in Modesto with the formation of Maddox Brothers & Rose on KTRB Radio in 1937. The "Hillbilly Boogie" sound, featuring the string slapping percussive sound by Fred Maddox, would become popular on a national scale and would later be the foundation for Rockabilly. Fred Maddox's bass is housed at the Experience Project Museum in Seattle, Washington.

The city's annual Architectural Festival honors Modesto's history as a testing ground for mid-century modern architecture during the 1940s and 1950s. Modesto's mid-century buildings have been featured four times in Museum of Modern Art publications.

Filmmaker George Lucas, who was born in Modesto, graduated from Thomas Downey High School in 1962 and attended Modesto Junior College, immortalized the city in his award-winning 1973 film American Graffiti. Although it was not shot in Modesto, the film portrayed the spirit of cruising and friendship on Modesto's 10th and 11th Streets in 1962, and inspired a revival of interest in 1950s pop culture. Modesto celebrates Graffiti Summer annually in June. It attracts thousands of visitors and car enthusiasts, along with hundreds of classic and antique cars.

The city has realized the importance of its connection to the award-winning film, and the city is preparing new tourist attractions and events to welcome Graffiti tourists as the Modesto Convention and Visitors bureau report that the leading request for information is American Graffiti-related. Downtown Modesto as it stands has the Modesto Historic Cruise Route on 10th and 11th St, the Legends of the Cruise Walk of Fame, and the Classic Community Mural series of large scale art celebrating the history of American Graffiti.

Music festivals include SummerFest, the Downtown summer concert series, featuring Chris Isaak, Hootie & the Blowfish, The Doobie Brothers and Styx.

X-Fest, deriving from its real name Xclamation Festival, was a 21-and-over music festival in downtown Modesto. Begun in 2000, X-Fest evolved into a large outdoor event stretching for 15 blocks and featuring the world's largest disco which occupied four blocks on its own. In 2008 X-Fest featured 50 bands and a crowd of 15,000 people. Much of the profits ended up in local non-profit charities. Some business owners and citizens of Modesto complained of a rowdy and often drunk Mardi Gras atmosphere exhibited at X-fest. The last X-fest occurred in Modesto in 2015.

Located in downtown Modesto is the State Theater with music acts and independent films.

Downtown Modesto hosts a monthly Art Walk, with local artists displaying art for sale, artist demos, local gallery shows, in a multi-venue map self-guided tour.

Music and performing arts

The Modesto Symphony Orchestra, which finds its home at the Gallo Center, held their first performance when Modesto had a population of 17,000 in 1931 and continues to be a staple in the community. Not to be outdone by the Symphony, MoBand (Modesto Band of Stanislaus County), established in 1919, is one of the oldest continuously performing bands in the U.S. The group performs a free 6-week summer concerts-in-the-park series with its 130 volunteer musicians.

Modesto is also home to Townsend Opera, founded in 1983 by the late Modesto-born opera singer Buck Townsend, and Modesto Performing Arts, as well as the Gallo Center for the Arts. Modesto is also home to the area's leading professional ballet company, Central West Ballet.

The Mexican culture and traditions are displayed by the Ballet Folklorico Group "Casa Cultural Tradiciones". Folklorico groups are often at Modesto events, sharing their culture with traditional dance and colorful attire.

The MAMA, Modesto Area Music Awards are held each October. Local radio stations and promoters nominate local bands and voting happens online. There is a black tie ceremony and trophies are given to winners in multiple categories. A lifetime achievement award is also presented. The MAMAs were created by Chris Murphy and Chris Ricci to support and encourage local musicians.

Transportation

Rail

Modesto station, east of downtown Modesto, is served by Amtrak San Joaquin intercity rail service. Future plans call for Altamont Corridor Express service at the Modesto Transportation Center by 2023, with California High-Speed Rail later serving the station as well.

The large industrial region south and east of the city is served by the Modesto and Empire Traction Company, a 5-mil (8,0 km) short line railroad, with a web of industry tracks and many customers. At one time, Modesto was the operational center of the Tidewater Southern Railway, which had its main line down the center of Ninth Street, a major north–south street. A city ordinance passed by the city council kept electric power lines over this section of street activated long after the railroad had converted to steam power. In 2000, the last trains ran down Ninth Street. Now the railroad (owned by the Union Pacific Railroad since 1983) no longer passes through Modesto.

Local transit

The Stanislaus Regional Transit Authority operates local bus service and paratransit in Modesto, regional service in Stanislaus County, and commuter routes connecting to Bay Area Rapid Transit and Altamont Corridor Express stations.

Air

Modesto is served by the Modesto City-County Airport that lies east of California State Route 99 within the city limits. SkyWest Airlines (operating as United Express) provided air service to San Francisco International Airport, however commercial service stopped in June 2014. The airport is used for manufacturing and the shipping industries throughout California and the United States.

Highways and roads

Interstate 5 and California State Route 99 provide major highway access to Modesto. California State Route 132 links the city to Interstate 580, providing commuter access to highways into the Bay Area. California State Route 108 connects to Oakdale, California and east to the foothills. The city has added many roundabouts in an effort to ease traffic congestion within the town with varying degrees of success.
