ABOUT

Lincoln is part of Placer County and borders Rocklin. The original townsite was surveyed and laid out in 1859 along the proposed line of the California Central Railroad. The name Lincoln was conferred in honor of Charles Lincoln Wilson, one of the organizers and directors of the California Central Railroad. The CCRR was planned as a rail link between the cities of Marysville and Sacramento via a connection to the Sacramento Valley Railroad in Folsom.

Lincoln remained a sleepy town until the mid-1990s, when the suburbs of Sacramento started expanding out past nearby Roseville. The city is now experiencing a new period of growth and over the last 10 years grew over 280%. In 2004, Lincoln gained additional appeal when it opened the first area casino, Thunder Valley Casino Resort. Lincoln was the only California city to be named an All-America City in 2006 and only one of 10 cities to receive the prestigious award.
