Woodland[6] is a city in and thecounty seat ofYolo County, California, United States. Located approximately 15 miles (24 km) northwest ofSacramento, it is a part of theSacramento metropolitan area. The population continues to grow every year, with a growth rate of0.33% annually, and a current population of 61,873.
Woodland's origins date to 1850 when California gained statehood and Yolo County was established. The area was well irrigated due to the efforts of James Moore, which drew people into farming as the soil was very fertile. The city gained a federal post office in 1861 with the help of Missourian Frank S. Freeman. A year after this,in 1862, the county seat was moved from Washington (present dayWest Sacramento) to Woodland after Washington was flooded. The addition of a railroad line to Sacramento, and the more recent addition ofInterstate 5, helped the city to thrive.
Before itssettlement by people ofEuropean descent, the Woodland area was inhabited by thePatwin, a subgroup of theWintunNative Americans, further divided into the River and Coastal Patwin.[8] Woodland's indigenous roots stem from the River Patwin, who tended to stay closer to theSacramento River, as opposed to the Coastal Patwin who lived in small valleys in hills and ranges.[9] The Yolotoi, atribelet of the Patwin, occupied area near Woodland, and settled a village northwest of Woodland, as well as area close to present-dayKnights Landing.[10] Although they didn't have a permanent settlement in present-day Woodland, it is believed that the River Patwin occupied the Woodland area in seasonal camps for hunting and seed gathering.[11] The Yolotoi and their neighboring tribelets had a main trading trail which followedCache Creek. The exchange of goods between the neighboring tribes of theNomlaki to the north, theNisenan to the east, and thePomo to the west also served as a way of cultural and social interchange between all the tribes.[11] The simultaneous enslavement and spread of disease through the Patwin by theSpanish missionaries quickly had dramatic effects; amalarialepidemic in 1830–33 and asmallpoxepidemic in 1837 killed much of the surviving natives. However, some of the first farm hands in the earliest farms in Woodland were Patwin.[11]
In 1851, the year afterCalifornia became a state andYolo County was formed, "Uncle Johnny" Morris settled at what is now the corner of First and Clover Streets in Woodland. Two years later Henry Wyckoff arrived and built a store he named "Yolo City".[12] The new Yolo City might have stayed a singular store if Frank S. Freeman, the man responsible for the establishment of the post office, had not bought it and acquired 160 acres (0.65 km2) of land in 1857. Freeman began to develop a town that he hoped would be a trading center for one of the richest crop-growing areas in America. He gave land to anyone who would clear it and build a home. In 1859, Freeman suggested that the town be called Woodland, which the post office accepted.[13] On July 5, 1861, the Woodland Post Office was established and Freeman became Postmaster.[14] He lost no time in developing the town by leasing or selling commercial buildings.
The 1860s were a time of opportunity. The county seat was permanently moved to Woodland afterWashington, California (now a part ofWest Sacramento) flooded. Schools, homes, churches, and a cemetery were built. The town's newspaper, theDaily Democrat and arail line was built. In 1869, theCalifornia Pacific Railroad Company constructed a line between Davisville (nowDavis) andMarysville with a Woodland station in the area of College Street and Lincoln Avenue. The rail line expanded and was eventually acquired bySouthern Pacific Railroad. The track was then relocated from College Street to East Street, the eastern edge of the city at that point.[11] The addition of the railroad led to the expansion of Woodland. Before the railroad came, people were building primarily from Main Street northward. Later expansion headed west and south.[12]
In 1870 the population of Woodland was estimated to be 1,600 people, 647 of whom were registered voters.[11][14] Signatures were collected to petition for the incorporation of the town.[14] The City of Woodland wasincorporated in 1871 and its residents soon had regular train and telegraph operations, telephone services, gas, water, electricity, street lights, and graveled streets.[12]Byron Jackson, inventor of the centrifugal pump, opened a machine shop in Woodland in 1872. The business moved to San Francisco in 1879, supplying highly efficient pumps for ground water irrigation which transformed agriculture and industry in California.[15]
Woodland'sChamber of Commerce was founded in 1900. During this time public activism helped Woodland get a library, a city park, and an improved cemetery. In 1910 Woodland was the most populous city in the county, with a population of 3,187. For the next forty years Woodland grew slowly but steadily, based on agriculture-related businesses: three rice mills, asugar beet refinery, and a tomato cannery were built.[12]
After PresidentRoosevelt issuedExecutive Order 9066, which authorized military commanders to exclude "any or all persons" from certain areas in the name of national defense, theWestern Defense Command began ordering Japanese Americans living on the West Coast to "evacuate" from the newly created military zones. This included many Woodland farming families.At Woodland, was aWoodland Civil Control Station, for check-in, with no overnight accommodations.[16]
Thepost-war era spurred growth in Woodland; between 1950 and 1980, Woodland's population tripled. In the 1950s Woodland had the most millionaires per capita of any city in California.[17] Industrial plants and distribution centers grew in the northeast, with new subdivisions and shopping centers around the town. Since the late 1960s, there has been greater interest in preserving the town's historic buildings, and many have been restored as homes, offices, stores and museums.[12] Woodland's "Stroll Through History," an annual event, began in 1989 to showcase many of theVictorian homes and other historical sites throughout the city.[12]
In the 1970sInterstate 5 was completed, curving around Woodland, with abusiness routing along Main Street and Road 98. Over time, I-5 andState Route 113 replaced the railroads as major transportation arteries.[citation needed]
Within the past decade, Woodland has grown, with many additions to the community. Subdivisions have been built (mainly on the east side of town) and several major chain stores opened. This economic growth has encouraged more people to invest in the community and continue its expansion. In 2023, City Manager Ken Hiatt stated an estimate of161.5 million dollars in public and private investments were to be directed to the city for further development. Woodland has even been named as one of the top 100 places to live in America, rankingat number 55.
Pioneer High School opened for the 2003–04 school year.[18]
In 2018, thanks in part to the establishment of the new community near Pioneer High School,Spring Lake Elementary was created. This makeseleven elementary school in Woodland alone.
Main Street has revived with new restaurants, a new court house, and the expansion of the Old State Theater into a 10-screen multiplex.[19] With rumors spreading about the possible future of aWoodland Research and Technology Park, a hub dedicated to serving research and technology companies from surrounding areas, surely the population will continue to grow.
Woodland is located on flat land in theCentral Valley (California), with theYolo Bypass and theSacramento River to the east and theCapay Valley and theCoast Range to the west. Woodland is a part of theSacramento Metropolitan Area but it retains a "small town" feeling partly due to the mileage between the city and the neighboring cities. It is located just southeast of the county's geographical center, and is one of the largest cities north of Sacramento alongInterstate 5 untilRedding. Interstate 5 enters the city from the east and curves northward over the remainder of Woodland, exiting northwest.SR 113 enters the city from the south as acontrolled access freeway and merges with the I-5, then diverges leaving the city northward as a standard two-lane road. The city is surrounded by farmland.
Woodland calls itself the "City of Trees".Valley oaks are the predominant native species planted around the city.[20][21]
Woodland has aMediterranean climate with dry, hot summers and cool, relatively wet winters, as with the rest of California'sSacramento Valley. The rainy season is generally from October through April. In thehottest month, July, the average high temperature is 94 °F; in January the average high is 56 °F. Average lows range from 58 °F in July to 38 °F in December and January. January is typically the wettest month with about 3.92 inches (100 mm) of rain. All-time extremes for Woodland are 15 °F and 114 °F.
Woodland has a zone 9b botanicalplant hardiness climate zone, typical of theSacramento Valley.
Summer brings warm days, with temperatures frequently in the upper 90s, but the "Delta Breeze" that blows into the valley through theCarquinez Strait usually makes for comfortable evenings and nighttime temperatures in the upper 50s. Occasional heat waves raise the temperature above 100 degrees. During late fall and throughout the winter months, Woodland experiences cooler temperatures, rain from storms originating in the Pacific Ocean and Gulf of Alaska,tule fog, and a few mornings of frost and freezing conditions. When the chilling fog does not burn off, daytime highs may remain in the 40s or low 50s for several consecutive days. Snow is extremely rare in Woodland; the last measurable snowfall occurred on January 28, 2002. The Sierra Nevada mountains, about 60 miles to the east of Woodland, receive significant amounts of snow each winter, contributing to the cool weather. Precipitation becomes much less frequent in April and May as the days gradually get warmer.

Woodland and the immediate surrounding area's economy has largely been based on agriculture. To this day, Yolo County is one of the largest crop producers in the state. Ranking in America's top 20 fortotal commodity production, Yolo remains a leader in agricultural production. The transportation industry has played a large part in Woodland's economy, as well. With heavy agricultural production comes the need to transport it. While maintaining the large role that agriculture and transportation still play in the town's activities, over the years Woodland has branched out into other sectors as well.
The industrial sector has grown in Woodland as is seen by the numerous manufacturing and warehouse centers.Modular homes are one of the largest manufactured goods in town. Several major retail stores have warehouses in Woodland or just outside the city limits.
When the price of homes rose in California during the first half of the decade, Woodland was near the front of the wave due to many factors including proximity to Sacramento and its maintenance of a small community feeling. Its' convenient location, as well as itsstrong sense of community has made Woodland a desired place to live. As a result, in 2002 Woodland had the highest percentage increase in property value in the nation.
Ease of access to the city provided by the close proximity of I-5 and I-80 as well as theSierra Northern Railway and theCalifornia Northern Railroad are most likely why businesses have done so well in Woodland. Woodland's short distance from theSacramento andSan Francisco metro areas also provide businesses another reason to set up shop in town.
According to the city's 2020 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report,[29] the top employers in the city are:
| # | Employer | # of Employees |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Target Distribution Center | 1,325 |

The museum acquired the property in 1975 and it houses furnishings and artifacts dating from the 1850s to the 1930s. Locally called The Gibson Mansion, the house and the property depict everyday living from that era as well as changing exhibits regardingYolo County history.[35][36]
Another site of interest is theWoodland Public Library. The original structure was funded byAndrew Carnegie and was constructed in 1905. The Woodland Public Library is the oldest library funded by Carnegie in California that is still in operation.[37]
TheWoodland Opera House is aCalifornia Historical Landmark and aCalifornia State Historic Park that was originally built in 1885 and was rebuilt due to fire in 1895–1896. The opera house was rebuilt on the original site with some of the intact bricks and foundation.[38] It was the first opera house to serve theSacramento Valley. Some notable performers on its stage includeJohn Philip Sousa and his band,Verna Felton, and MadameHelena Modjeska. Closed in part due to the rise of the motion picture industry, and partly due to a lawsuit involving an injury, the opera house was closed from 1913 until recently.[when?] Renovations allowed for the historic building to be opened again and it is now an acting venue in town.[39] Several major productions are shown throughout the year, and many bands use the venue.
Woodland was incorporated as a general law city, governed by a five-member council, with the mayor serving as presiding officer.
