About Yuba County


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 of about 84,310 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, framed up on two sides by the Yuba and Feather rivers. To the south of Marysville, you will find communities with their own rich places in history -- including Linda, Olivehurst, Arboga, and Plumas Lake. To the east is Yuba County's other municipality, the City of Wheatland.

To the north is a place we call District 10, named after the reclamation district but characterized by its booming agricultural businesses, providing the foundation for much of Yuba County's economic strength. As you travel along Highways 70 and 20 through that area, watch for signs advertising fruit and vegetable stands, where you can get a fresh taste of the bounty that grows from the region's rich soil.

And so many small communities that have that friendly vibe: Loma Rica, Browns Valley, Oregon House, Dobbins, Brownsville, Challenge, Camptonville, and so may more. They all have their own historical places in this county, adding layer after layer to the complex nature of the region.

There are good reasons that Yuba County is getting a lot of attention in California.
