Established in 1850 as a hotel and stage stop, this historic town is located about 15 miles south of historic Sutter's Fort in Sacramento County. Approximately 17 miles from the state capital, Elk Grove is one of the fastest growing areas in the county, doubling in size from 1990 to 2000. Despite that growth - which has swelled the newly incorporated town’s population to close to 130,000 -- the community has managed to retain its special small-town charm. City fathers have taken steps to ensure that business and residential developments don't displace the natural beauty of the region by preserving open spaces such as the Cosumnes River Preserve and the Stone Lakes Wildlife Refuge. Employment opportunities in Elk Grove can be found in the industries of educational, health and social services, public administration and retail trade. Students grades K-12 attend schools in the diverse and reputable Elk Grove Unified School District. For those pursuing a degree in higher education, there are several nearby colleges and universities as well. Recreational opportunities can be found through hosts of city parks and programs. Spirited celebrations such as the Western and Harvest festivals and the Red, White and Blue celebration reflect a strong sense of community pride and sharing. Real estate options in Elk Grove consist of single-family detached homes, estate properties and land lots. The Elk Grove community shows a dedication to quality of life for all age groups and cultures and a marvelous synthesis of history and natural preservation with booming growth and new age expansion.
