The Yolotoi, a tribelet of the Patwin, occupied area near Woodland, and settled a village northwest of Woodland and another close to present day Knights Landing. Woodland's indigenous roots stem from the River Patwin, who tended to stay closer to the Sacramento River, as opposed to the Coastal Patwin who lived in small valleys in hills and ranges. History Indigenous culture īefore its settlement by people of European descent, the Woodland area was inhabited by the Patwin, a subgroup of the Wintun Native Americans, further divided into the River and Coastal Patwin. The addition of a railroad line to Sacramento, and the more recent addition of Interstate 5, helped the city to thrive. The city gained a federal post office and the next year the county seat was moved from Washington (present day West Sacramento, California) to Woodland after Washington was flooded.
The area was well irrigated due to the efforts of James Moore, which drew people into farming as the soil was very fertile. Woodland's origins date to 1850 when California gained statehood and Yolo County was established. The population was 61,032 at the 2020 census. Woodland is a city in and the county seat of Yolo County, California, located approximately 15 miles (24 km) northwest of Sacramento, and is a part of the Sacramento metropolitan area.
