Folsom is a historic city located in Sacramento County, California, about 25 miles northeast of the state capital Sacramento. The city gained prominence during the California Gold Rush and is perhaps best known for Folsom Prison, which was immortalized in Johnny Cash's famous song "Folsom Prison Blues."

Founded in 1855, Folsom has transformed from a gold mining town into a modern suburban city while maintaining strong connections to its historical roots. The city features a well-preserved historic district, particularly the Folsom Historic District, which showcases architecture and cultural elements from its Gold Rush era.

Today, Folsom combines its rich history with contemporary cultural offerings, including various museums and cultural centers that help preserve and share the region's heritage. The city also benefits from its location near Folsom Lake, which provides recreational opportunities and serves as a significant cultural and natural landmark for the community.
