Manteca lies in California's Central Valley along Highway 99, about 80 miles east of San Francisco. This city of 95,000 sits where Highway 99 meets Highway 120, making it a natural stopover between the Bay Area and Central Valley destinations. The hot, dry summers and mild winters are typical for the agricultural region. Downtown features the restored 1918 Southern Pacific Railroad depot, now serving as the transit center.
