Turlock was founded on December 22, 1871 by John W Mitchell, a prominent cattle rancher in the area. Construction of the Central Pacific Railroad at that time had reached a station to be named after Mitchell, but he declined to have the station named after himself and suggested instead it be named after Turlough in County Mayo, Ireland. Thus, the new railroad town was named Turlock.

A recent boom in the retail sector has produced a considerable amount of growth along the Highway 99 corridor.

The city's long-established northern urban growth boundary limit, Taylor Road, has already been reached as a result of rapid residential development from the late 1990s to the present. Urban growth any further north than Taylor is restricted by the city's Master Plan.

Turlock is the home of California State University, Stanislaus, a liberal arts university, and part of the 23-campus California State University system. As of March 2005, CSU Stanislaus reported a student population of 6,192 undergraduate students. The number rises to 7,858 when considering all students, including graduate students.
