Rocklin’s history began over 150 years ago, when Joel Parker Whitney established the 30,000-acre Spring Valley Ranch. The city’s original claim to fame came with the mining of its granite, which helped build the State Capitol and historic San Francisco buildings. Kitchen counters and monuments in the region are still made from an endless supply of Rocklin granite.

Visitors are entertained with tales of rock, rails and ranches at the Rocklin History Museum.

By automobile, Stanford Crossing residents can spot some of Rocklin’s historic landmarks. The granite stone bridge over the Clover Valley Creek was built by Chinese laborers in 1900 and used by the Whitney family. Four Victorian style private homes built in 1890 are located at the intersection of Rocklin Road and Fifth Street. The St. Mary’s of the Assumption Catholic Church was constructed in 1882 and is a favorite photo shoot location for engagements and weddings.
