Lincoln

Lincoln is a city in Placer County, California, United States, part of the Sacramento metropolitan area. Located ten miles north of Roseville in an area of rapid suburban development, it grew 282 percent between 2000 and 2010, making it the fastest-growing city over 10,000 people in the U.S. Its 2019 population was estimated to be 48,275. Lincoln is part of the Sacramento-Roseville Metropolitan Statistical Area.

The original townsite was surveyed and laid out in 1859 by Theodore Judah along the proposed line of the California Central Railroad. The name Lincoln was conferred in honor of Charles Lincoln Wilson, one of the organizers, a fundraiser, and a management contractor of the California Central Railroad (CCRR). Lincoln remained a sleepy town until the mid-1990s when the suburbs of Sacramento started expanding beyond nearby Roseville. The city is now experiencing a new period of growth. In June 2003 the first casino in the greater Sacramento Metropolitan Area, the Thunder Valley Casino Resort, opened in Lincoln. In 2006, Lincoln was named an All-America City by the National Civic League. It was the only California city to be named an All-America City that year and only one of the cities to receive the prestigious award.
