Gridley is a city in Butte County, California, United States. Two large fires, one in 1884 and one in 1891, destroyed much of the original business district. The district rallied and rebuilt around 1900.
Much of the historic downtown district remains. "Silk Stocking Row" the many well-preserved turn-of-the-century homes on Hazel Street, was so named because during the Depression the only women who could afford silk stockings lived in these large Hazel Street homes.

Gridley has its roots in agriculture and provides a rich background of orchards, crops, and a variety of farm houses. The quaint downtown has rural town appeal complete with an historic movie theater and firehouse.
