Summary
Nestled between the capital city of Sacramento and California's famous Sierra foothills, Orangevale began as a rural area, which, remained profitable until nature wreaked havoc during the Depression by freezing most of the harvest. Post depression/WWII construction of bridges, highways, and large business centers then gradually transformed this simple town into a modern suburb, where residents still can enjoy a rural, small-town feel.
