THE CITYYuba City, with a population of just over 65,000, is located 41 miles north of the state capitol, Sacramento, at the crossroads of Highway 99 and Highway 20, in the central part of the Sacramento Valley. Nestled between the famous Sutter Butte Mountain Range and the picturesque Feather River, and just a short drive north of Sacramento, the City of Yuba City acts as the regional center for the 120,000 people that live within a 15-minute drive.

Bounded on the east by the Feather River and on the west by the Sacramento River, the Yuba City area offers an abundance of recreational, hunting and fishing opportunities. Uncongested lakes provide a wonderful opportunity for boating and water-skiing enthusiasts. The Sutter Buttes, dubbed the smallest mountain range in the world, are a beautiful backdrop for Yuba City.

Yuba City serves as the county seat for Sutter County and is in close proximity to the City of Marysville, which serves as the county seat for Yuba County, and home to Beale Air Force Base. Both cities resulted from the Gold Rush, with a stream of miners coming up the Feather River by steamboat. These two communities confer on areas of mutual interest such as flood control, waste disposal and transit. Many agencies are bi-county: the Yuba-Sutter Chamber of Commerce, Yuba-Sutter Waste Disposal, and Yuba-Sutter Transit to name a few.

Yuba City offers outstanding combination quality-of-life attributes including affordable housing, friendly people, quality schools, a great climate, safe community, excellent recreational opportunities, and proximity to major metropolitan areas.

Founded in 1849, Yuba City has developed through the years as a growing community and serves as the retail and service center hub for the surrounding area. The economy of the area is based on agriculture, food processing, lumber and wood products, medical offices and government, including Beale Air Force Base.

Yuba City offers small-town events where you will likely run into your friends, neigh-bors and co-workers. Downtown’s Plumas Street is closed off several times a year for the Christmas and Summer Strolls, Fine Arts Festival, and Yuba City High School Homecoming Parade. A huge event for the City is the Sikh Parade, which attracts a large crowd every year to view the parade and participate in the numerous associated activities. The Certified Farmer’s Market offers locally grown fruits, vegetables, flowers and baked goods from May to October.

In the Yuba City Unified School District, eighteen schools serve the students, faculty and parents. Private educational institutions, as well as a junior college, provide a well-rounded educational opportunity for Yuba City residents. In addition, California State University, Chico, California State University, Sacramento, and the University of California, Davis are within 45 minutes of the City and provide additional options for higher education.

Even with the growth Yuba City has seen over the years, it has retained its “small town” feeling which makes it a great place to live!
