Named for its location in a wooded area, the city of Woodland is a history buff’s delight, with a 370-acre downtown historical district that is on the National Register of Historic Places. Specific highlights include the Gibson House, the California Agricultural Museum and the Woodland Opera House State Historic Park. The town’s more than 60,000 residents benefit from a stable economy with an agricultural base, good medical care from the highly rated Woodland Memorial Hospital and 25 parks. Residents can engage with the city government by attending City Council meetings or listening on Woodland TV Channel 20. They can also follow the activities of various boards, commissions and advisory bodies.
