Discreet 24/7 Biohazard Remediation in Riverbank, CA

Riverbank is a city in Stanislaus County in California's Central Valley, incorporated on August 23, 1922, whose official slogan is 'The City of Action.'

Riverbank is named for its location on the banks of the Stanislaus River, northeast of Modesto.

In the 1850s the area was known as Burneyville, after Major James Burney, sheriff of Mariposa, who established the Burneyville Ferry across the Stanislaus River at the site of the modern bridge.

Riverbank grew into a town with the arrival of the San Francisco and San Joaquin Valley Railroad, which was soon acquired by the Santa Fe Railroad.

At incorporation in 1922 the city covered just 340 acres, and as late as 1930 it had only 803 residents.

Riverbank remained a small agricultural service town until the mid-1980s, after which it grew rapidly as a bedroom community for the Modesto area.

The 2020 census counted 24,865 people in Riverbank, up from 22,678 in 2010 and 15,826 in 2000.

Riverbank has about 7,690 households, with an average of 3.24 people per household, and roughly 72 percent of its housing is owner-occupied.

Riverbank is part of the Modesto metropolitan statistical area in the northern San Joaquin Valley.

Each October, Riverbank hosts its Cheese and Wine Exposition, the city's signature annual festival celebrating the region's dairy and wine production.
