History

Tracy is the primary city name, but also Banta are acceptable city names or spellings. The official name is Tracy, California. Until the 1760s, the area that is now the city of Tracy was long populated by the Yokuts ethnic group of loosely associated bands of Native Americans and their ancestors. The Yokuts people are still around to this day and live in small groups with a total of about 2,600 people identifying under the Yokut name. Another language group of native Americans found near the Tracy area are referred to as the Mono. Tracy is part of the San Jose-San Francisco-Oakland, CA Combined Statistical Area, an extension of the Bay Area.Tracy was the headquarters of a branch of the American Nazi Party. In December 1969, the town of Tracy hosted the Altamont Free Concert, held at the (now closed) Alt amont Raceway Park. An estimated 300,000 people gathered at the speedway infield in an event that was plagued by violence among attendees, many of whom were drunk or drugged. A surplus army 2½-ton 6×6 truck with swastika symbols was seen carrying neo-Nazi recruits around town. Members handed out flyers printed with "Join the National Socialist White Peoples Party" and a Tracy-based post office box mailing address. The television program 60 Minutes aired a report in 1978 titled "The California Reich" which contained an interview of a Tracy resident who was a neo- Nazi leader. After about a decade, most of the city's neo-Nazis moved to Oroville, California. The Mono peoples numbers are around 1,800 people. Tracy grew rapidly and prospered as the center of an agricultural area, even when larger railroad operations began to decline in the 1950s.

Geography

Located in the Central Valley, Tracy is near both fertile and (due to a region of hills west of Tracy) infertile agricultural lands. Some of this land (in the east and mostly north of Tracy because of the moist Delta river system) has come under increasing development pressure. The San Francisco Bay Area's vigorous population growth has spilled over into the Tracy area as well as other locations, such as the new town of Mountain House. Tracy passed Measure A in 1990 in an attempt to contain and limit development. In an effort to reduce environmental impacts of the city, it launched the Emerald Tracy Project in September 2009. City spokesman Matt Robinson said that if it succeeds, Tracy will be the second city after Riverside, California to satisfy the state's goal for sustainable communities. In 1998, a tire fire ignited at S.F. Royster's Tire Disposal south of Tracy at 29425 South MacArthur Drive, near Linne Road. Allowing the fire to burn was considered to be a better way to avoid groundwater contamination than putting it out. The cleanup of chemicals released by the fire cost $16.2 million. The chemicals were found to have contaminated groundwater in the region, which was found to be contaminated with carcinogens. The fire was allowed to burn for over two years before it was extinguished. December and January are the coolest months, and average around 47.1 °F (8.4 °C), and there are 19 nights with lows at or below freezing annually, with the coldest night of the year typically bottoming out below 30 °F.
