Lincoln

Lincoln occupies the lower western foothills of the Sierra Nevada in Placer County, northern California. Auburn Ravine runs through the city before crossing the Sacramento Valley, and the land west of town opens toward the Central Valley’s broad agricultural plain. Established in 1859 beside the railroad, Lincoln later became known for clay manufacturing. Gladding, McBean & Co. began operations here in 1875, beginning a long local association with brick, tile and ceramic production. Its historic downtown provides a compact counterpoint to the newer residential districts around it.
