One of California's original 27 counties founded on February 18th
in 1850, Yuba County is California’s gateway to the historic Mother
Lode Country, with a diverse landscape that boasts grand rivers,
thriving farmland, friendly communities and numerous recreational
possibilities that extend into the Sierra foothills. Our communities
have that small town feel so many people are seeking. With a
population just over 70,000 people, residents enjoy relaxed living
and affordable housing, while both ocean beaches and mountain skiing
are only a couple of hours away. And, amazingly, the county’s border
is just 30 minutes north of the State Capitol in Sacramento.
At the heart of our county is historic Marysville,
bordered by the Yuba and Feather Rivers. To the south and
east of Marysville, you will find a variety of
communities—including our newest community Plumas Lake—with
numerous local events, active theater and arts groups,
social and service clubs and year round festivals and fairs.
The Sleep Train Amphitheatre is our state-of-the-art center
for outdoor concerts, and the Yuba-Sutter Gold Sox, a minor
league baseball team, makes its home in Marysville. Golf courses include Peach Tree County Club and Plumas Lake Golf
Course.
