Yolo, California has gone by many names in its history. Once known as Caheville, Cochran's Crossing, Hutton's Ranch and Travelers Home, it is now known by the acronym "You Only Live Once" by those lucky enough to call this wonderful rural area east of Sacramento their home.

Founded by Thomas Cochran, who built a hotel which then drew the creation of a Post Office by 1853, Yolo was primarily established as a farming community and it maintains that description today. By 1857, what is now Yolo (then named Cacheville) was granted the title of the seat of Yolo County, and continued the town's expansion. The county seat would eventually move to Woodland, but Yolo and the entire Yolo County continues to grow and succeed—namely in the agriculture industry and real estate options for those who want open space in California's beautiful rolling countryside.

Historically known for its commodity crops such as tomatoes, alfalfa and more, the rich soil of Yolo County is now staking its claim in connoisseurs' lists for wine grapes, almonds and other crops. Large farms dominate the vistas of Yolo County, with a few cities and towns sprinkled through the landscape. Davis, the largest city in Yolo County, is home to the University of California, and its 30,000 students on the campus contribute to the county's year-round 170,000 residents.
