Where is Ripon CA

Ripon, California is nestled between two decent sized cities (Modesto and Manteca) located in the central valley of California. It's a "sleepy" little town that has grown and is known primarily for it's harvesting of almonds. It's the almond capitol of the world, and has held this title for many years. Another strong influence Ripon has on the economy is fuel. Truck stops in Ripon have acquired and maintained the stretch of real estate from the Milgeo exit to the popular road Jack Tone Road, allowing truckers to either rest for the night, get some dinner or fuel up their trucks as they pass on through to their destinations. This has been a key feature Ripon has been able to provide their visitors.
