Hughson, CA

united states

Hughson is a small Central Valley farming town about 10 miles southeast of Modesto, reached via Highway 99 and State Route 108. The area's flat agricultural landscape produces stone fruits and crops under the valley's hot, dry summers. Most visitors arrive from Highway 99, connecting to Sacramento or Fresno, while locals use Whitmore and Santa Fe avenues for daily trips. The town's giant peach-painted water tower celebrates its century-old fruit-growing heritage.
