WELCOME Folsom was founded in the 1846 during the great gold boom of California. It was the railroad and the historic powerhouse that gave rise to the city in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. Miners would travel from around the world to Sacramento, hop on the Sacramento Valley Railroad to the end of the line in Folsom. After stocking up on provisions they would scatter up and down the Sierra’s to their claim’s. While Folsom is more known for the California State Correctional Facility which was popularized by Johnny Cash’s album “Live at Folsom Prison”. The prison does have a historic value to the city. It was the Livermore Family in 1880 who donated land to the state, in exchange for prison labor to build a hydro-electric dam. The dam would provide power for the family sawmill. While the sawmill never came to be, Folsom Dam continues to provide hydro-electric power and recreation. Folsom is equally known for it’s annual Pro Rodeo which attracts professional riders from around the world.

Another attraction is the quant Historic District which is situated on the banks of the American River, lined with boutiques, cafes, railroad station, and museum, this is where our InstaMeet focused on. I hope you’ll enjoy your visit to Folsom through the eyes of our members.
