In the heart of the San Joaquin Valley, the vibrant City of Patterson offers residents a safe, diverse, and friendly community rich in heritage. The City has a resident population of 21,251 and is located in Stanislaus County. It is 45 miles southeast of Livermore and part of the Modesto Metropolitan Statistical Area. Patterson is known as the “Apricot Capital of the World”. Patterson is a rural, small town surrounded by agricultural land and has grown immensely during the past decade.

Agriculture is the City’s primary economy with an array of fruit and vegetables from apricots, almonds and walnuts, as well as row crops of dry beans, tomatoes, broccoli, spinach, peas and melons all playing an important role in Patterson’s history. During the first weekend in June, Downtown Patterson hosts the City’s largest celebration of the year, the Apricot Fiesta. The Fiesta starts on a Friday and ends on Sunday and offers an array of fun for the entire community.

Today, Patterson continues to take pride in its rich heritage while promoting balanced growth in a well planned community. New neighborhoods blend well with the historical homes of Patterson’s past. Commercial and industrial growth also meet design guidelines which enhance the community.
