Loomis, California
Loomis (formerly Pine, Pino, Smithville, and Placer) is an incorporated town in Placer County, California, United States. It is part of the Sacramento metropolitan area. The town's population was reported as 6,836 in the 2020 census. It shares borders with the city of Rocklin and the Census-Designated Places Penryn and Granite Bay.
The Placer post office opened on the site in 1861, changed its name to Smithville in 1862, then changed it to Pino in 1869, and in 1890 the Southern Pacific Railroad finally decided on Loomis. The railroad and Post Office found that Pino was confused with the town of Reno, hence the name change to Loomis. The name Smithville honors L.G. Smith, who was one of the town's most prominent leaders.
Loomis takes its name from one of the town's pioneers, James Loomis. At one time, James Loomis was the whole town—saloon keeper, railroad agent, express agent, and postmaster. In the early part of the 20th century, Loomis was the second largest fruit-shipping station in Placer County, Newcastle California, just 6 mi (9.7 km) east of Loomis, was considered the largest.
Loomis remained part of unincorporated Placer County until December 17, 1984, when the Town of Loomis officially incorporated. The Town was in danger of being annexed by its neighbor Rocklin and the residents voted to incorporate to preserve local control, partly on the issue of preserving the "small town" character and historic structures such as the High Hand and Blue Goose fruit packing sheds which sit between Taylor Road (a segment of historic Highway 40) and the Union Pacific railroad tracks.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 7.27 square miles (18.8 km2), all land. Stream drainages in Loomis are Antelope Creek and Secret Ravine.
Loomis has a hot-summer Mediterranean climate (Köppen Csa) that is characterized by cool, wet winters and hot, dry summers. As with the rest of cities in the northern Central Valley, Loomis has hot summers with sparse rainfall and abundant sunshine. Winters are cool and bring plenty of rain. Average daily high temperatures range from 53 °F (12 °C) in January to 94 °F (34 °C) in July with August remaining nearly as hot. Daily low temperatures range from 39 °F in winter to 61 °F in summer (4 to 16 °C). Snowfall is almost non-existent in Loomis.
As of the 2020 census, Loomis had a population of 6,836 and a population density of 940.8 inhabitants per square mile (363.2/km2). The median age was 42.3 years. 23.9% of residents were under the age of 18, 8.1% were aged 18 to 24, 21.0% were aged 25 to 44, 28.8% were aged 45 to 64, and 18.2% were 65 years of age or older. For every 100 females, there were 97.2 males, and for every 100 females age 18 and over there were 94.0 males age 18 and over.
The census reported that 99.3% of the population lived in households, 3 people (0.0%) lived in non-institutionalized group quarters, and 43 people (0.6%) were institutionalized. There were 2,459 households in Loomis, of which 35.9% had children under the age of 18 living in them. Of all households, 57.3% were married-couple households, 5.4% were cohabiting-couple households, 14.3% were households with a male householder and no spouse or partner present, and 23.0% were households with a female householder and no spouse or partner present. About 18.4% of all households were made up of individuals, and 9.6% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.76, and there were 1,875 families (76.3% of all households).
