Rancho Cordova Living

Although the history of the Sacramento area stretches back to the Gold Rush of 1849 and earlier, Rancho Cordova has been considered a separate community for only about 60 years. The Spanish granted the Rancho de los Americanos to Captain Joseph L. Folsom in 1849. At the center of the grant were the Cordova Vineyards. In 1955, a post office was established in the area and named Rancho Cordova. The community soon became known as a subdivision of Sacramento and residents voted to incorporate in 2003.

Rancho Cordova students attend excellent public schools within the Folsom-Cordova Unified, San Juan Unified, and Elk Grove Unified School Districts.

Rancho Cordova also offers alternative high schools and special education centers to meet the needs of its diverse student body.
