Ciudad (pob., 2000: 243.771 hab.) en el centro del estado de California en EE.UU. Se ubica junto al río San Joaquín y se conecta con la bahía de San Francisco por el canal de gran calado de San Joaquín, de 126 km (78 mi); es uno de los dos puertos marítimos fluviales del estado.

Fue fundada en 1847 y se desarrolló rápidamente como punto de abastecimiento para los mineros durante la fiebre del oro de 1849. Con la introducción del riego y la llegada del ferrocarril, se convirtió en mercado de productos agrícolas y vinícolas. Con el término del canal en 1933 se convirtió en un puerto importante y en centro de abastecimiento para las operaciones militares del Pacífico de EE.UU.
