Home to more than 83,000 residents, Manteca is a Central Valley city that sits 76 miles east of San Francisco. Originally named Monteca, the railroad misspelled it as Manteca, and that became the city’s official name. With affordable housing and proximity to major highways and the Valley Rail expansion, Manteca self-describes as the “Family City”—and it has become a tourist destination for families in recent years thanks to the nearby Great Wolf Lodge outpost. It is also the site of the largest veterans commemoration on the West Coast, taking place every year on the Sunday before Memorial Day.
