EL DORADO HILLS, CALIFORNIA OVERVIEW
El Dorado Hills is an unincorporated town in El Dorado County, California. It is located in the western foothills of the Sierra Nevada. According to the 2020 U.S. Census, El Dorado Hills’s population was 50,547. El Dorado Hills is 30 miles from the city of Sacramento, 84 miles from Lake Tahoe and about 115 miles from San Francisco. El Dorado Hills was settled in the mid-1850s.
The indigenous people in El Dorado County were the Maidu, Nisenan, Washoe and Miwok tribes. In the El Dorado Hills area it was the Maidu or Nisenan Indians. The Maidu villages extended from the Sacramento Valley all the way to the Sierra Nevada Mountains. European trappers in the area brought malaria and other diseases that affected the Indigenous people. However, the California gold rush further devasted the native tribes with disease and violence, and drove the tribes from their ancestral lands.
El Dorado Hills is a suburb east of Sacramento and is part of the historic California gold country. During the gold rush, gold washed down the American River, into the areas now known as El Dorado Hills and Folsom. The Gold Rush brought tens of thousands of people into California from all over the world. The miners established hundreds of spontaneous mining towns along the western foothills of the Sierra Nevada.
El Dorado Hills was created by Sacramento developer Alan Lindsey. When Highway 50 was constructed in the 1950s, Alan Lindsey decided to build a residential community for the engineers and their families. Lindsey purchased 11,000 acres of ranch land and hired Victor Gruen, an architect to design a large-scale master-planned community. The master plan envisioned a group or residential “villages”, a business park, golf course, schools and parks. The plan also included open spaces between the villages for the communities’ recreational use.
El Dorado Hills is an unincorporated area near Sacramento. El Dorado Hills is a Census Designated Place (CDP) and part of the Sacramento Metropolitan Statistical area. A CDP, is the statistical equivalent of an incorporated city. A census-designated place does not have permanent boundaries like a city and there is not a city council, within the area’s borders. In a census-designated place, law enforcement and firefighting services usually fall upon the county that the unincorporated area is in. Several residential communities including El Dorado Hills, Cameron Park and Shingle Springs are unincorporated suburban areas supporting the greater Sacramento metropolitan region.
