Etymology

Salida was given the Spanish name for “departure” by the Southern Pacific Railroad in 1870. [5]

History

In 1870, the Central Pacific Railroad extended its track construction to Stanislaus County's northern exit. There they established a railroad station with the Spanish name of salida, which in English means exit. This name favorably matched with modesto because both towns have Spanish meanings. They also laid the town out in the shape of a triangle. In 2012 and 2013, initial attempts to annex Salida to Modesto were studied, [6] but were met with protests from local residents. [7]

Downtown

The Downtown of Salida is situated in the original town layout. Many government and commercial buildings line the sides of Broadway. In the center of Broadway there are oak trees and a walking trail.[ citation needed ]

Politics

According to Salida resident, Lee Sell, there was a movement to incorporate Salida as a city during the 1950s but it failed due to lack of tax base. Incorporation discussion surfaced again in 2007. [16]

In 1996, the City of Modesto sought to annex Salida and Wood Colony's "Beckwith Triangle" which was voted down by LAFCO. [17] At an August 2013 Modesto Planning Commission workshop, Modesto city planners unveiled a new general plan update to annex Salida and doubled the size of land they wanted to annex in and around the Beckwith Triangle. [18]

Terry Withrow, Stanislaus County Supervisor whose district covers Salida, authored an opinion piece which appeared in the Modesto Bee on August 20, 2011, in favor of annexing Salida to the City of Modesto. [19] After being elected in a run-off, Modesto Mayor Garrad Marsh expressed his support of annexing Salida in his "State of the City" speech in March 2012. [20] Both politicians met with a contentious crowd of over 200 residents who filled the Salida Municipal Advisory Council meeting room on January 29, 2013. The majority of residents spoke against annexation. [21]

With the election of the new Modesto Mayor, Ted Brandvold, along with several new city council members, 2016 saw a "reset" to Modesto's 1995 General Plan boundaries. The 1995 General Plan includes Salida and the Beckwith Triangle area of Wood Colony, leaving the two unincorporated communities still susceptible to annexation by the City of Modesto. [22]
