Ceres is a city in Stanislaus County, California, United States. The population was 34,609 at the 2000 census.

Stanislaus County is a county located in the Central Valley of the U.S. state of California, between Stockton and Fresno. As the price of housing increases in the San Francisco Bay Area, many commuters have moved to Stanislaus County. As of 2000 the population was 446,997. The county seat is Modesto.

The county is named for the Stanislaus River, first discovered by Gabriel Moraga in 1806, and later renamed Rio Estanislao in honor of Estanislao, a mission-educated renegade Native American chief who led a band of Indians in a series of battles against Mexican troops until finally being defeated by General Mariano Vallejo in 1826. Estanislao was his baptismal name, the Spanish rendition of Stanislaus, itself the Latin rendition of the name of an 11th century Catholic saint from Poland, St. Stanislaw.
