City of Gridley

The City of Gridley is located in the heart of the beautiful Sacramento Valley at the foot of the world's smallest mountain range, the Sutter Buttes. Conveniently located within a few hours of the Bay Area and the Lake Tahoe/Reno area, one has the advantage of living in a community with clean air, good water and a rural lifestyle, while having quick access to metropolitan areas. Gridley is a convenient one hour drive north of Sacramento, only 20 minutes north of the rapidly expanding urban area of Yuba City and just 27 miles south of Chico. Newcomers of all ages are lured to the Gridley area by the friendly small town atmosphere. It is as attractive to young couples raising a family as retired senior citizens. Quality of life is the primary goal of the community. The city and community support an active and creative recreation program. The area is also home to some of the best hunting and fishing in the state. Gridley’s compact footprint complements the rich and fertile agricultural lands that surround the City. One need only travel a few minutes in any direction before reaching wide open spaces of beautiful rolling rice fields and lush green orchards. Gridley continues to chart its own destiny by providing water, wastewater and electrical services to residents and businesses.
