Modesto Area History
Modesto, a Spanish word meaning modest, was named after the central railroad conductor Ralston’s modesty. Modesto became the end of the Central Pacific Railroad line on November 8, 1870 and was incorporated as a municipal city on August 6, 1884.
In the 1880’s new homes were built east of downtown. Today, only one of those beautiful homes stands in its original state. Robert McHenry built the McHenry Mansion in 1882-83. Learn more about Modesto area History at the very affordable McHenry Mansion and McHenry Museum.
