Tracy Overview
Talk to people who live in Tracy, whether newcomers or longtimeĀ residents, and you'll hear over and overĀ again that it's an up-to-date suburb with an old town feel. Although most of the young professional families in this diverse cityĀ of 90,319Ā are homeowners, the latest real estate data shows 38% of the population live in rental apartments.Ā While close to the San Francisco Bay Area, it remains untouched by the high cost of living that has made housing out of reach within San Francisco itself.
What is the history of Tracy?
Tracy can thank the frenzied era of railroad building in California for its existence, and agriculture for its early growth. WhenĀ construction of a new rail line was started in 1878, to connect Oakland to the recently completed Central Pacific Railroad which ran from Sacramento to San Francisco via Stockton and over the Altamont Pass, planners soughtĀ Ā a flatter, more efficient route. The point at which these two lines met soon grew into a town, named for Tracy J. Ellis, a railroad director. Incorporated in 1910, the city rapidly expanded when the first irrigation district was established in 1915, transforming the arid lands around it into fertile fields for farming. Like the rest of San Joaquin Valley, Tracy flourished as an agricultural area.Ā Today,Ā its town seal reflects its dual history of railroads and agriculture.
