Charming is a fictional town in the television series Sons of Anarchy.
According to a sign on the edge of town, Charming's population is 14,679, and the city motto is "Our Name Says It All". Charming covers 22.7 square miles (59 km2) and is located in San Joaquin County, California, in the upper part of the metro triangle, which is bounded by the Bay Area, , and Sacramento. Show writer Kurt Sutter has stated that he envisions the town as being located between Lodi and , which would place it near the real-life Census-designated place of Morada, California. At other times in the show, Charming is said to be 50 miles (80 km) from both Oakland and San Jose, and about 30 miles (50 km) from both Stockton and Lodi.
In Season 1, the show's official website gave GPS coordinates for Charming that placed it in the middle of an agricultural field along California SR 12, about 3.75 miles (6.0 km) west of Interstate 5, just under 1 mile north of the road. These coordinates put Charming between Lodi and Rio Vista, California. The website no longer includes these data.
In the Season 5 episode, "Crucified" (at 15:58), the side of the Teller-Morrow truck shows a 95206 ZIP Code, which corresponds with Stockton, and a phone number with a 925 area code, which is consistent with eastern Contra Costa and Alameda Counties, but not with San Joaquin County.
