About Waterford
Nicknamed the "Gateway to Recreation", the City of Waterford welcomes passing travelers through its municipality as they pursue activities at nearby places like Turlock Lake State Recreation area, New Melones Reservoir and Yosemite National Park. The city changed its name from Bakersville to Waterford in 1870 due to apparent mix-ups with the more-populated Bakersfield, California. Waterford is known regionally for its unique Cup Tree on which approximately 2500 cups or mugs have been nailed or placed.
