 | | Modesto, originally a stop on the railroad connecting Sacramento to Los Angeles, was founded in 1870 and was to be named for William Chapman Ralston, its founder and the financier of many projects in early California. |
| | The Modesto Tallow Co., operating on the south bank of the Tuolumne River since 1917, processes 10,000 tons of animal carcasses a month, emitting a noxious stench across a poorer swath of the city; this stench is a fitting allegory for the culture and residents of Modesto. |
| | Modesto is served by one of the busiest rail corridors in the country. |
