History
Citrus Heights voters approved a ballot measure to incorporate as a city on November 5, 1996, effective January 1, 1997. The measure passed, with 62.5% of the votes. The city incorporated on January 2, 1997 (January 1 according to the official city website), becoming the fifth city in Sacramento County. Originally, the community was called Sylvan, but in 1910, a real estate agent bought the area, split it into 10-acre (4.0 ha) lots, and renamed it Citrus Heights.
