Abstract
This community oral history project was designed to capture the stories and reminiscences of citizens who resided in Folsom, California from 1980-2000 and who participated in the city’s rapid growth and development. These individuals each served in a variety of capacities including civic leadership, business ownership, and land development. This project addresses a gap in Folsom historiography by focusing on the late-twentieth century development of this city. These interviews offer firsthand perspectives of land, population, and economic growth during a pivotal time in the city’s history.
