Dos Palos is a small farming town near Los Banos with strong community
Dos Palos lies at the center of a patchwork of farmland in Central California, about 17 miles from Los Banos, where most residents travel for dining and grocery shopping. "Most of Dos Palos is families who came back in the day, and they work on private, family-owned farms,” says Katrina Sousa, a Realtor with PMZ Real Estate with about seven years of experience. “They have small-community pride. Whatever holiday there is, they will come together and celebrate.”
