Loomis, CA Real Estate — Homes For Sale in Loomis, CA

Town History The Placer post office opened on the site in 1861, changed its name to Smithville in 1862, then changed it to Pino in 1869, and in 1890 the Southern Pacific Railroad finally decided on Loomis. The railroad and Post Office found that Pino was confused with the town of Reno, hence the name change to Loomis. The name Smithville honors L.G. Smith, who was one of the town's most prominent leaders. Loomis takes its name from one the of town's pioneers, James Loomis. At one time, James Loomis was the whole town-saloon keeper, railroad agent, express agent, and postmaster. In the early part of the 20th century, Loomis was the second largest fruit-shipping station in Placer County. Loomis remained part of unincorporated Placer County until December 17, 1984, when the Town of Loomis officially incorporated. The Town was in danger of being annexed by its neighbor Rocklin and the residents voted to incorporate to preserve local control, partly on the issue of preserving the "small town" character and historic structures such as the High Hand and Blue Goose fruit packing sheds which sit between Taylor Road (a segment of historic Highway 40) and the Union Pacific Railroad tracks.

Loomis is a one of a kind place to live! From the amazing schools to the true community feel, you cannot go wrong moving to Loomis. My children attend Franklin Elementary school and participate in several community sports including the 5 Cities Softball program, Golden Eagle Pony Baseball, Loomis Under Amour Flag Football and the Del Oro Junior Eagles Football/Cheerleading program. 3 things I love about the Town of Loomis: 1. The town shuts down the main street (Taylor Road) for homecoming rallys and other community parades. 2. The elementary schools are all K-8. I love this because I feel it allows my children to retain their youth for as long as possible while also building lifelong relationships. 3. My children get to experience things they wouldn't such as 4H, welding and other important life skills that are not offered in other communities. You get to know a vast number of people from different backgrounds and experiences... from the "county bumpkin" and the rich kid and everything in between! Want to know more about the schools...
