Overview Tracy is located in San Joaquin County, about 60 miles east of San Francisco. Beginning in the 1980s, Tracy experienced growth as people began looking for a more affordable alternative to Bay Area home prices, and a less hectic lifestyle. A steady period of growth ensued, as many companies found Tracy an ideal location for their distribution facilities.

The city today is home to several distribution facilities and is setting its sights on emerging industries, including expansion of hi-tech companies from the Silicon Valley.
