San Benito County covers approximately 1,390 square miles in the Diablo Range and Hollister Valley. The county seat is Hollister, which is also the county's primary commercial center. San Juan Bautista, on the historic El Camino Real route, is a smaller incorporated city with heritage tourism and commercial activity. The county is one of California's less densely populated counties, with the bulk of the residential and commercial footprint concentrated in the Hollister area along US-101 access corridors.
Agriculture has historically been the dominant industry, with a mix of field crops, orchards, and cattle ranching across the county. The Hollister commercial district has grown with residential development spreading from the Bay Area and the Santa Clara Valley, adding retail, services, and light commercial inventory. Active construction sites supporting residential growth are a regular feature of the Hollister market. Pinnacles National Park in the eastern portion of the county draws visitor traffic to that corridor.
