Elk Grove is a family-oriented community where opportunity is around every corner. The city provides a safe, youthful environment where families can put down roots and a quite atmosphere where seniors can retire. Its population of more than 150,000 residents is diverse in ethnicity, age and income levels.
Elk Grove has a close proximity of grocery stores, department stores, boutiques, restaurants, parks, and movie theaters.
Since the City incorporated in July 2000, Elk Grove has blossomed with new businesses, residents, employment opportunities and amenities such as a new locally-controlled police department, animal care service unit and a first-rate public transportation system.
Elk Grove is a city with small town roots and big dreams with a community that just gets better with age.
In 1850, Elk Grove was established as a hotel stop and a stop for the stage. It is located about 15 miles south of historic Sutter’s Fort and thus became a crossroads for business, entertainment, mail service and agriculture, and acted as home base for gold miners in nearby communities.
After it played its part in the early gold rush and statehood history in California, a close-knit community evolved with a distinctly rural and western lifestyle. Elk Grove remains quietly independent of Sacramento’s growth and development as it expanded into adjoining countrywide areas until the 1980s.
Today, Elk Grove had its start in agriculture and it is still a big part of the area’s economy today, with vineyards, dairy and cattle and row crops; but, now, there is also high technology, professional service, and commercial and retail enterprises.
