Among the cool Willow Trees and tall Eucalyptus, and
along the lazy Sacramento River sits the charming historical towns of
Walnut Grove and Locke still reminiscent of early days.
The original storefront buildings front line the street, looking out upon the
river. Behind are the different sections of homes that marks the history of the
immigration to the area. The Chinese, and later, Japanese developed and continue to
contribute to the rich ethnic diversity. Only one half mile from the historic
community of Locke-the first remaining rural community built by the Chinese, Walnut Grove
also boasts that the majority of its original buildings are still standing. The Walnut
Grove Area Chamber of Commerce has distributed pamphlets at many of the area
businesses that enable you to take a walking tour of both
Walnut Grove and Locke, locate retail and entertainment
businesses, as well as goods and services available.
Walnut Grove is located some 30 miles south of Sacramento, 30 miles north of Stockton, and 70 miles northeast of the San Francisco Bay area. For a detailed map, click here.
