This is what Rocklin is all about

Beauty of Rocklin

In 1884, J.P. Whitney constructed a 20-room country mansion called The Oaks to accommodate his growing wealth from mining operations in Colorado and other land deals in California. Its proprietors enjoyed commanding views of the Spring Valley Ranch from this eclectic Victorian mash-up of Italianate and Queen Anne architecture. Ranches were dismantled in the 1950s, so this structure stood.

Rocklin Placer County Citrus Colony was established in the late 1880s through Whitney's estate. Due to his adoration for English culture, he recruited wealthy Englishmen to build his palatial homes and orange groves. In the first year, residents played games and listened to music in the clubhouse to socialize. There was a tennis court and a cricket field, and the cricket and soccer teams in the state were highly regarded. The good times didn't last long. During the 1890s, the country's economy was sluggish, and irrigation ditches became stagnant, encouraging the growth of malaria-carrying mosquitoes. There were many residents who returned home from the colony within 15 years after its collapse.

In 1905, the Southern Pacific Railroad, which owned the CP since 1885, decided to build a new roundhouse in Roseville, severing ties with Rocklin. Following the completion of the facility in 1908, hundreds of railroad employees and their families moved into it. It was apparent that Rocklin was shrinking as some workers loaded their wood frame homes onto flatcars and shipped them to Roseville. As a result of the 1912 fire, the roundhouse was demolished. The population of the town was reduced by half within a few years to about 1000 people. Thanks to pneumatic drills and other technological advancements, some of the slack in the local economy was taken up by the quarries.

Due to the recent decrease in population, there was no incentive to rebuild First Street after a devastating fire in 1914 destroyed many businesses. The orbit of Sacramento began to draw Rocklin into its orbit at the end of the century. After being sold and divided, the Spring Valley Ranch is now home to thousands of people living in planned communities. Some of the estate's remnants, such as granite bridges and the clubhouse, can still be seen if you do a little digging. In 1962, renowned photographer Ansel Adams was hired to photograph the landscape before the ranchlands were developed. Rocklin's gnarled oaks and granite outcroppings were captured in the photos; thankfully, many of these natural features were incorporated into parks and trails within the new neighborhoods.

California is primarily responsible for financing and operating the Capitol Corridor route. In order to continue developing a cost-effective, viable and safe intercity passenger rail service, the Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Authority (CCJPA) partners with Amtrak, Union Pacific Railroad, Caltrans and the communities comprising the CCJPA.
