If you are looking for a noticeable change of  the seasons then look no further. Rich fall colors, verdant spring greens, cold winters and summers that get down right hot. Air conditioning is a Creston summer must have.

Creston History

Creston (named after Calvin J. Cressy) was founded in 1884 on the Rancho Huerhuero Mexican land grant.

Creston was home to Cardiff Stud Farm (Creston Farms), a place once owned by Canadian-American television personality Alex Trebek, and where a number of retired American thoroughbred racehorses were taken care of, including those below. Cardiff Stud Farm was sold in 2008 and is now an event center called Windfall Farms.
