Elk Grove, California


From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia<br />

Seal of the City Of Elk Grove<br />

Elk Grove is a city in <strong>Sacramento</strong> County, California, located south of the state capital of<br />

<strong>Sacramento</strong>. The (U.S. Census' 2004 population estimates) list the city's population as<br />

100,760. Newly-placed city limit signs list the population as just over 130,000. Either<br />

way, Elk Grove is the second-largest city in <strong>Sacramento</strong> County. As of the 2000 Census,<br />

the CDP had a total population of 59,984, but Elk Grove is one of the fastest growing<br />

towns in California owing to proximity to <strong>Sacramento</strong> and expanses of undeveloped land<br />

(former agricultural lands). The incorporated city boundaries are larger than the censusdesignated<br />

place boundaries set by the Census in 2000.<br />

Elk Grove was founded in 1850 as a stage stop. It is located about 15 miles south of<br />

historic Sutter’s Fort and thus became a crossroads for business, entertainment, mail<br />

service and agriculture, and acted as home base for gold miners in nearby communities.<br />

After it played its part in the early gold rush and statehood history in California, a closeknit<br />

community evolved with a distinctly rural and western lifestyle.<br />

Although the town developed around agriculture, it has since become a residential suburb<br />

of <strong>Sacramento</strong>. "Old" Elk Grove is located about a mile east of Highway 99 (formerly<br />

U.S. Highway 99, the north-south artery of California central valley). Most newer<br />

housing developments in Elk Grove lie west of Highway 99, toward Interstate 5, now the<br />

major north-south artery for the U.S. West Coast, in an area locally called "Laguna" or<br />

"Laguna Creek".<br />

Elk Grove's telephone area code is 916. Its ZIP codes are:<br />

95624<br />

95757<br />

95758<br />

east of Highway 99<br />

west of Highway 99 and south of Elk Grove Boulevard<br />

west of Highway 99 and north of Elk Grove Boulevard<br />

The city's ZIP codes are not necessarily continuous with city boundaries. For example,<br />

while the 95758 ZIP code does indicate an Elk Grove address, a portion of the ZIP code<br />

actually lies within the city of <strong>Sacramento</strong>. Residents with an Elk Grove ZIP code living<br />

within the city of <strong>Sacramento</strong> receive <strong>Sacramento</strong> city services, such as police and trash


collection. An unusual case is a neighborhood at the north end of Laguna Star Drive,<br />

which has an Elk Grove ZIP code but lies within <strong>Sacramento</strong>'s city limits, and is only<br />

accessible by traveling through Elk Grove.<br />

Education<br />

The Elk Grove Unified School District is the 12th largest school district in California and<br />

one of the fastest growing school districts in the nation. Located in southern <strong>Sacramento</strong><br />

County, the district covers 320 square miles, one-third of the county. For the 2002-03<br />

school year, the district will serve more than 52,500 students and expects to reach 80,000<br />

students by 2010. Of the 52,500 students, there are 38 elementary schools, 8 middle<br />

schools, and 12 comprehensive high schools.<br />

More than 60 percent of the district's students are on a four-track year-round schedule,<br />

where students attend school for three months and are then off for a month. The district<br />

serves a diverse student population and enrolled students speak more than 80 languages.<br />

There are also several private schools in town, such as Elk Grove Montessori School and<br />

several locations of Merry Hill Schools. A local community college, Cosumnes River<br />

College, offers both vocational training and a transfer program to four-year universities.<br />

Located nearby are California State University, <strong>Sacramento</strong> and the University of<br />

California, Davis, as well as branches of Golden Gate University and St. Mary's College.<br />

Climate<br />

Elk Grove’s climate varies from low temperatures of 24 to 44 degrees to highs of 80 to<br />

110 degrees. Average annual rainfall is 22 inches per year falling primarily from October<br />

through April. The elevation of the city is 45 feet.<br />

Government<br />

The City of Elk Grove incorporated on July 1, 2000. It is a general law city and operates<br />

on the Manager-City Council type of governance. Elk Grove is in the 3rd and 5th<br />

Congressional Districts, the 10th and 15th State Assembly Districts, and the 1st and 5th<br />

Folsom, California<br />

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia<br />

Folsom is a city in <strong>Sacramento</strong> County, California, USA. Though Folsom is most<br />

commonly known by its famous Folsom Prison, it is a thriving suburb of <strong>Sacramento</strong>.<br />

History<br />

Folsom started as a small town called Granite City, mostly occupied by gold miners<br />

seeking fortune in the Sierra Nevada foothills. Though few amassed a great deal of<br />

wealth, the city prospered due to the Joseph Folsom's lobbying to get a railway to connect<br />

the town with <strong>Sacramento</strong>. Though Folsom died in 1855, the town was later renamed to<br />

Folsom in his honor. The railway was abandoned in the 1950's but later opened up as the<br />

terminus of the Gold Line of <strong>Sacramento</strong> Regional Transit District's light rail service.<br />

Folsom Prison was established in 1880, when the Livermore family made an agreement<br />

with the state to donate land for the prison in exchange for prison labor. Their plan was to<br />

build a hydro-electric dam from the American River for a sawmill. Though the sawmill<br />

did not work out, the Livermores soon realized that the natural force of running water<br />

could provide enough power to transmit to <strong>Sacramento</strong>, and the Folsom Powerhouse,<br />

now a National Historic Landmark was opened. At the time it was opened, it had the<br />

longest overhead run of electricity (22 miles) in the country. The powerhouse operated<br />

until 1952.<br />

Folsom Dam was built in 1956, providing much-needed flood control and water rights for<br />

the <strong>Sacramento</strong> Valley. The creation of this dam also created one of the most popular<br />

lakes in Northern California, Folsom Lake.<br />

Today, Folsom is most known as being a popular middle-class suburb, with abundant<br />

parks, good schools, and a strong community. Folsom is home to Folsom Lake College,<br />

Folsom Dam, Folsom Lake, and a charming historic district. Folsom is also home to the<br />

largest employer in the <strong>Sacramento</strong> area, Intel. The population was 51,884 at the 2000<br />

census.<br />
