The City of Folsom has a rich history beginning with the '49ers during California's great Gold Rush. But it's also a forward-looking city -- the site of California's first college, the West's first railroad and the world's first long-distance transmission of electricity.

It is a high-tech town as well, with firms ranging from small to large international corporations. The good network of area freeways has drawn distribution facilities to the City as well. A steady influx of new residents has kept local contractors busy, and the retail section is about to get a tremendous boost from two malls in the planning stage. As part of the four-county Sacramento Metropolitan Statistical Area, the City is part of a robust regional economy as well.

The downtown area of Folsom is only minutes away from four major freeways, five airports, freight and passenger rail lines, bus lines and even an inland seaport.

Folsom's retail activity is expanding enormously with major developments taking shape. The shopping centers at Highway 50 and East Bidwell Street in southeastern Folsom continues to grow adding new retail stores, hotels, and restaurants. The Folsom Automall along Folsom Boulevard and Highway 50 has grown to over six dealerships. Two new hotels have opened next to the Folsom movie theaters. The Folsom outlets continue to grow, making it a major shopping center, bringing shoppers from miles away.
