Nestled at the base of the Sierra foothills in beautiful Placer County, Rocklin is well known as a city that takes pride in the statement, "A family community growing together."

Although officially incorporated in 1893, Rocklin’s recorded history begins 150 years ago when Joel Parker Whitney established Spring Valley Ranch. Over the years, 25 miles of crushed stone roads, 12 granite bridges, stables, barns, and housing for 200 ranch hands and their families were all constructed on this sprawling 30,000 acres, now considered the first developed property in Rocklin.

The Rocklin Unified School District includes nine elementary schools, two middle schools, one high school and one alternative school. This district prides itself on the excellent relationship between parents, community and faculty that together provides the best education possible for their students.

For higher education, there are numerous choices in and around Rocklin. Sierra College, a two-year community college campus, is located on Rocklin Road. The American River College, National University and a California State University campus are all located a short drive away in Sacramento. Also located a short commute away is the University of California at Davis.
