Founded by a sheep rancher before its incorporation in 1905, Gridley has held on to its farm-centric lifestyle in many ways. The Butte County Fair is a yearly occurrence at the local fairgrounds, where classic small ag-town delights reign. With its prevalent history of farm and ranch work, a large population of migrant workers contributes to a majority Hispanic population in this part of south Butte County and shapes the culture significantly, especially seen in some of the local cuisine.
