ROCKLIN

Rocklin was first recognized as a destination along the transcontinental railroad in 1864, about the same time granite mining began. Rocklin was incorporated in 1893 during the heyday of railroad and granite mining activity. By 1910, 22 quarries operated in Rocklin and, in 1912, nearly 2,000 train carloads of granite were sent out of town to become part of the state capitol building and buildings in San Francisco... Rocklin is home to two well-regarded and growing institutions of higher learning, Sierra College and William Jessup University... The Rocklin Police Department believes that crime prevention plays an important role in running a business that is safe for employees and customers, profitable for owners and management, and aesthetically appealing and inviting to the community.
