What is “South Placer”?

South Placer County refers to the portion of Placer County that is roughly in the middle to the southernmost part. Placer County is massive and covers the area lining I-80 from Tahoe all the way down to Roseville. With Placer County being 1,502 square miles and containing the world-famous Lake Tahoe, it makes sense to locals designate a “South Placer County”. To me South Placer includes Colfax, Meadow Vista, Auburn, Foresthill, Newcastle, Loomis, Rocklin, Roseville, Lincoln, and all the smaller communities in between. That’s the area you’ll really get to know on this page. I’ll sprinkle in a little up to Truckee here and there too! ​
