Folsom is a city with a colorful past and a rosy future.  Settled during the Gold Rush, Folsom is now one of the fastest growing cities in California.  Located just 20 miles east of Sacramento on Hwy 50, this upscale community is the perfect blend of the old and the new. 

Sutter Street in downtown Folsom is a favorite spot for visitors, with its antique shops, outdoor cafes and history museums.  Across the river, luxury homes are nestled in the hills of the American River Canyon, along with a number of newer subdivisions with houses of varying prices.
 
The Folsom Powerhouse built in 1895, was the world's first powerhouse to provide long-distance electricity transmission for commercial use, lighting the city of Sacramento.  Today, Folsom Prison, immortalized by singer Johnny Cash, adds to the area's strong economy, as do top-notch employers, such as Intel's major research campus.
 
The Los Rios Community College District opened Folsom Lake College Center, increasing the city¿s educational services to area residents.  Folsom is also home to the Folsom Lake State Recreational Area (over 18,000 acres), a great spot for boating, water-skiing, and fishing, hiking, picnicking and camping.  In town, kids love their city park and the Folsom Zoo with the adjacent live-stream railroad for families to ride.  The Nimbus Fish Hatchery is a unique place to visit where salmon and trout can be seen in their annual migration toward spawning grounds. Recently, Light Rail was extended to Folsom for easier commutes to downtown as well as connections toward the Bay Area.
 
The community school district is Folsom-Cordova Unified.
