County of Yuba
Company Overview
Yuba County is located in the Northern Sacramento Valley, approximately 40 miles north of the State Capitol in Sacramento. Its boundaries stretch from the farms and orchards of the valley to the timberlands of the Sierras. The County is home to a growing population of 70,000 people who live in the incorporated cities of Marysville (the county seat) and Wheatland, and the communities of Linda, Olivehurst, Plumas Lake, Loma Rica, Smartsville, Brownsville, Dobbins, Challenge, Browns Valley, Oregon House, Rackerby, Strawberry Valley, Beale Air Force Base, and Camptonville.
The County offers its residents the many advantages of a rural lifestyle away from the pressures of urban areas. While the area remains largely agricultural, there is also rapid growth occurring throughout the County. New residents are drawn to the quality of life of the area, which includes a widely diverse cultural community and the convenient proximity of San Francisco and Lake Tahoe (just 2 hours away). Yuba County is known as the gateway to the historic Mother Lode Country.
Yuba County has excellent schools and Yuba Community College offers opportunities for higher education and personal enrichment. The California State Universities at Chico and Sacramento and the University of California at Davis are less than an hour away.
