The City, ringed by agricultural fields sits squarely in the heart of the Salinas Valley, the Salad Bowl of the World. Agriculture dominates as a local industry, from row crops to vineyards. The City also harnessed the infamous Salinas Valley wind by investing in the largest wind turbine in the region.
The 26,000 plus residents live in a city that is a Gateway to Pinnacles National Park, as well as near Soledad Mission, the 13th of 21 Spanish missions built in California. The Salinas River, which meanders nearby, is mentioned on the John Steinbeck Literary Trail.
