Woodland is the county seat of Yolo County, California, located approximately 15 miles (24 km) northwest of Sacramento, and is a part of the Sacramento - Arden-Arcade - Roseville Metropolitan Statistical Area. The population was 55,468 at the 2010 census.Woodland's origins trace back to 1850 when California gained its statehood and Yolo County was established. Since the town started growing in population and resources, it has not stopped. The area was well irrigated due to the efforts of James Moore, and this drew people out to try their hand at farming. The endeavor was successful as people found the soil in the area very fertile. The city gained a federal post office and the next year the county seat was moved from Washington (present day West Sacramento, California) to Woodland after Washington was flooded. The addition of a railroad line, the close proximity to Sacramento, and the more recent addition of Interstate 5, helped create a thriving city.

History

Woodland (formerly, By Hell and Yolo City) is the county seat of Yolo County, California, located approximately 15 miles northwest of Sacramento, California and is a part of the Sacramento - Arden-Arcade, California - Roseville, California Sacramento metropolitan area Statistical Area. The exchange of goods between the neighboring tribes of the Nomlaki to the north, the Nisenan to the east, and the Pomo people to the west also served as a way of cultural and social interchange between all the tribes. There are two main groups of Patwin: River and Coastal Patwin. The population was estimated to be 53,690 in the 2007 by the US Census Bureau.

Before the human settlement of the area by people of European ethnic groups descent, the Woodland area was inhabited by the Patwin, a subgroup of the Wintun Indigenous peoples of the Americas Americans. The simultaneous enslavement and spread of disease through the Patwin by the Spanish Missions of California missionaries had quickly taken dramatic effects; a malarial epidemic in 1830-33 and a smallpox epidemic in 1837 killed much of the surviving natives.
