Newman, CA

Newman is a small Central Valley farming town of about 12,300 people located right on Interstate 5, roughly 90 miles southeast of San Francisco. The city sits at the intersection of I-5 and State Route 33 in western Stanislaus County, making it a convenient pit stop for travelers heading between LA and Sacramento. Most visitors arrive via I-5, while locals use Stuhr Road and Hills Ferry Road to reach surrounding agricultural areas. The town's historic grain elevator, visible from the freeway, has been a landmark for I-5 travelers since the early 1900s.
