You can find Claus on the northeastern edge of a larger city called Modesto. It's also nestled between two other towns, Riverbank and Empire.
History
The community of Claus began its story in 1896. This was a time when many towns grew up along important transportation routes. Claus was established right next to the Santa Fe Railroad tracks. Railroads were very important back then for moving goods and people, helping new communities like Claus to form and grow.
