 | | Turlock was founded in 1871 by John William Mitchell, a prominent grain farmer in the area, and while it grew to be a relatively prosperous and busy hub of activity throughout the end of the 19th century, it was not incorporated as a city until 1908. |
 | | In the 1970s, California State Route 99 was completed through the area, largely bypassing the incorporated areas of Turlock at that time in a route to the west of the city through mostly undeveloped land. |
 | | Turlock is unique as compared even to the immediate surrounding areas in that it is a major center for the Assyrian community in the United States[1] (http://www.nineveh.com/The%20Assyrians%20of%20the%20San%20Joaquin%20Valley,%20California.html). |
