LOS BANOS AUTO ACCIDENT PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY
Los Banos (or Baños depending on who you ask) is right on the west side of Merced County and is the county's second largest city. It is in the center of California, just two hours or so from San Francisco, Oakland, Sacramento, and Yosemite National Park. California's Monterey Peninsula and the Pacific Ocean are accessible in one and a half hours, as well as the Valley's major cities of Stockton and Fresno. The Silicon Valley is a little more than an hour's drive away.
Los Banos is a very family-oriented community with a small town feel, despite its population increases and growth in recent years.
Los Baños has a long and rich history of Portuguese and Spanish immigrants, like so many places to the west of the San Joaquin Valley.
