Ripon (/ˈrɪpən/) is a city located in San Joaquin County, California.

Ripon, on the site previously known as Murphy's Ferry, Stanislaus City, and Stanislaus Station, was renamed for Ripon, Wisconsin,[7] which was named for a city in North Yorkshire, England.

Ripon's economy is largely agriculture based, known especially for its high production of almonds.

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 shopping center.

There were 5,129 housing units at an average density of 933.4 per square mile (360.4/km2), of which 3,530 (72.7%) were owner-occupied, and 1,325 (27.3%) were occupied by renters.
