Beginning in February, the Citrus Heights Historical Society will be offering quarterly presentations about the history of Citrus Heights. The first presentation will take place Feb. 6 and will focus on Sylvan Corners, according to a press release from the society.
“For over 150 years, Sylvan Corners has been at the heart and center of the community,” the press release said. “Its name reflects an earlier time when the entire area was known as Sylvan. Sylvan Corners has witnessed much of the comings and goings that have made Citrus Heights what it is today.”
Sylvan Corners, or the intersection where Auburn Boulevard, Old Auburn Road and Sylvan Road all intersect, was part of the first transcontinental highway, known as the Lincoln Highway, then later, Highway 40.
The quarterly presentation series will take place on the first Thursday of the month in February, May, August, and November, according to the media release. Meetings are scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. in the Large Conference Room at Citrus Heights City Hall. Meetings are free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.
The Conference Room is located opposite the City Council Chambers, located at 6360 Fountain Square Drive.
The Citrus Heights Historical Society’s goal is to share with the public “interesting aspects of the history of our city.” according to its website. The society’s website provides historical commentary on businesses, landmarks, other historical sites, and through sharing biographies of residents.
