The City of Rocklin is a highly desirable, sprawling suburb in Placer County which is bordered by Roseville, Lincoln, Loomis and Granite Bay. This community is centrally located off of Intestate 80, Northeast of Highway 65 at the base of the Sierra Nevada Foothills and is only about 20 miles from Sacramento. The City of Rocklin has a population of nearly 70,000 people but retains a strong sense of community for its size.Prior to the gold rush era and the time of the Transcontinental Railroad expansion, the Nisenan Maidu were some of the first inhabitants of Rocklin whose historical presence can still be seen today at Johnson Springview Park in the form of grinding indentations left on the large rock slabs.

 In the mid 1800s Rocklin's granite quarries were turning our large slabs of Granite and some of which were used in the construction of the State Capitol and Fort Mason in San Francisco.  In 1867 the Central Pacific Railroad built a roundhouse in Rocklin which was later replaced by a larger roundhouse in Roseville due to the room for further expansion in Roseville. Like many communities in Placer County, the construction of the railroad heavily influenced the development and expansion of the area and has contributed to its prosperity along with the quarries.
