About The City Of Citrus Heights
Citrus Heights is located 15 miles northeast of California’s capital, where the plains of the Sacramento Valley begin their gradual rolling ascent to the Sierra Nevada foothills. For 19th century pioneers, the sight of the gently folded landscape meant they had arrived at the promised land. Remaining predominantly rural through the 1960’s, Citrus Heights began its emergence as a regionally important retail destination in the 1970’s. After its existence as an unincorporated area of northeastern Sacramento County for nearly 100 years, Citrus Heights became an independent city offering local municipal services in January 1997.
