About Grayson
Grayson is a quiet, tight-knit community located near where the San Joaquin and Tuolumne rivers meet in Stanislaus County. Home to around 1,000 residents, the town traces its roots back to the Gold Rush era in 1849, when it served as an active river port shipping grain and produce across the Central Valley. Today, it remains a calm, scenic spot surrounded by open farmland and winding waterways.
Younger children attend Grayson Elementary right in town, while older students head to neighboring Patterson, which also provides most of the area's grocery stores, dining, and daily services.
