About Esparto, California

Esparto is a community of 3,572 people in Yolo County, west of Woodland. In 1887 the Big Four and their families formed the Capay Valley Land Company to buy a stretch of isolated wheat and grazing land there. Under manager William H. Mills, the company worked with the Southern Pacific to run a branch railroad into the tract, improve roads and bridges, build irrigation and carve the land into small farms of ten to thirty acres each.

In 1888 the Vaca Valley Railroad laid track through a new townsite on its way to Rumsey, and railroad officials named the place Esperanza, Spanish for hope. Tulare County already had a town by that name, so when the post office opened in 1890 the town needed a new one. It became Esparto, the Spanish word for a feather grass.

  • Largest town on the lineSeveral towns grew up along the branch railroad, and Esparto became the biggest of them. Its people built several churches, a school, fraternal lodges and a gas company, farmers organized an alliance, and a business district grew around them.
  • A high school since 1893Esparto High School opened in 1893 as Yolo County's second high school, though its students waited until 1918 for a building of their own. In 1959-60, voters approved a school district covering the whole Capay Valley.
  • The last trainsIn 1937 the railroad began pulling up its track between Rumsey and Esparto, and trains quit running northwest of town in 1941. Passenger service between Esparto and Elmira officially ended in 1957.
  • A library raised in 1999In 1999 residents raised the money to build Esparto's own branch of the Yolo County Library, the Esparto Regional Library, a project the town counts as one of its big wins.
