Gustine is a city with a small-town feel in the San Joaquin Valley
Gustine in the San Joaquin Valley is considered part of Westside, which refers to its location within Mercer County. The population is about 6,100, according to U.S. Census estimates, and the economy is based around agricultural businesses, like dairy farms and nut processors. "It's a city, but we are really like a small town. I like to joke and call us cow town because we have more cows than people," says Zachery Ramos, president of both the Gustine Downtown Business Association and the Gustine Traveling Library. "I'm very lucky to live in a community where when we face challenges, there are people willing to help. There's nothing better than the small-town heart and soul of America, and I really believe that Gustine has this."
Homes in Gustine are priced from $210,000 to $520,000.

Gustine history, including the nickname of a rancher's daughter
In the early 1900s, Gustine was developed around a station on the Southern Pacific Railroad. The city, incorporated in 1915, was founded by Henry Miller, an immigrant from Germany who was later called the Cattle King for his influence as a rancher. The city's name honors Miller's daughter, Sarah, who died in a horse-riding accident in 1879. Sarah was nicknamed Gussie, as she often wore fancy clothes or, in the language of the time, was "gussied up."

A downtown focused on locally owned businesses; more in Newman
Gustine's downtown is around Fifth Street, which is also known as Main Street. It's focused on locally owned businesses, including small markets, specialty shops and restaurants.

Ramos recommends L&E Café and More, known for fresh bagels and coffee, and Wolfsen's Meat & Sausage, which makes more than 70 types of sausages in-house. WhichCraft Taproom is a family-friendly spot with brews on tap and non-alcoholic beverages. It also hosts karaoke.

Events celebrate Portuguese culture, classic cars and aviation

"We've been known for many, many years for having one of the biggest festas in the U.S," Ramos says, adding that visitors have even come from Portugal. Sopas, a traditional beef stew, is one of the top draws. Another festival highlight is the Bodo del Leite Parade, which features cows. Other events include the Motors on Main car and motorcycle show in April, and a Fourth of July parade and fireworks. "A lot of families come out here because we are one of the few communities that still holds their own fireworks celebration," Ramos says.
