'''Ripon''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|ɹ|ɪ|p|ə|n}}) is a city located in [[San Joaquin County, California]]. The population was 14,297 at the 2010 census. Ripon was originally known as '''Stanislaus City''', but was renamed for [[Ripon, Wisconsin]], in 1876.

==History==
Ripon, on the site previously known as Murphy's Ferry, [[Estanislao|Stanislaus City]], and Stanislaus Station, was renamed for [[Ripon, Wisconsin]],<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cityofripon.org/Community/history.htm |title=Story of the History of Ripon |access-date=August 27, 2004 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040909035859/http://www.cityofripon.org/Community/history.htm |archive-date=September 9, 2004 }}</ref> which was named for a [[Ripon, England|city]] in [[North Yorkshire]], England. Ripon's economy is largely agriculture based, known especially for its high production of [[almond]]s. In 1998, great expansion began for the city. Areas north of the [[California State Route 99|Golden State (99) Freeway]] were slated for housing divisions, and huge swaths of agricultural land were slated for development. In 2003, the Jack Tone Road intersection was rebuilt, thus beginning a gigantic commercial development for two truck stops—Loves and the Flying J—that year. The next couple of years saw the addition of numerous restaurants and a [[stripmall|shopping center]].
