Folsom has history that dates back to the California Gold Rush. It was home to America’s first Westward railroad, and a place where many 49ers discovered riches and wealth. Joseph Folsom purchased the area, in hopes of it turning into a railroad transportation community. His hope was that many would settle into Folsom homes and build a thriving town.
Shortly after his death, this dream was achieved, when the first train seen in the West arrived in Folsom, California in 1856. Joseph Folsom had originally named the area “Granite County,” but that was changed to Folsom in 1856 when the town was officially established and every land lot had been sold. Folsom, California became an official town and was incorporated in 1946.
Today, the city is full of top notch schools, gorgeous neighborhoods, enjoyable shopping, and efficient corporations. The Folsom City Zoo is a major attraction in the area. As a home to trails, wildlife, and a history, this zoo is a gorgeous and informative place to take the family. The Folsom History Museum is a wonderful place to learn the culture and history that encompasses the city, much of which includes stories from the California Gold Rush, the past and journey of the 49ers, and the many ethnic groups that helped the Folsom real estate area flourish as it did!
For those sunny summer days, the Folsom Aquatic Center is the perfect location for kids and adults! There are pools for swimming laps, and swimming lessons offered for those who wish to learn! In addition, there are water slides and fun water games for children! Folsom, California is a city with enjoyable attractions, an intriguing past, and a community that you will never want to leave.
