Biggs
[SinglePic not found]Biggs is a primarily residential community that has maintained the small town character one might envision for such a community of fifty years past. Located only one mile from Highway 99, the main entrance to town is lined with walnut groves, passes several attractive home sites and the classic architecture of the Biggs Unified School District Administration building, and proceeds through a boulevard canopied by mature shade trees. Located in the southwest portion of Butte County, about sixty five miles north of Sacramento, the town was founded in 1871 by Mr. A. M. Pitts and Lewis Posey. It was named Biggs Station after Major Marion Biggs, a prominent local political leader. After two serious fires in the summer of 1878 a community water system was constructed. The town was rebuilt with brick stores and the word “Station” was dropped from the town name. By 1882 the town had 600 inhabitants and 280 registered voters.

Wheatland
[SinglePic not found]Incorporated in 1874, Wheatland has both a rich history and a bright future. Some families have been here for generations while others are new to the area. All have come to know and appreciate the special qualities that come from the small town “feel” that is Wheatland. Your City government provides all of the basic municipal services – police, fire, water, sewer, wastewater treatment, street maintenance, planning, building inspections…and more. It is nice to know that Wheatland citizens elect 5 people from their own neighborhoods to guide and direct the day-to-day operations as well as plan for the future. And the future is bright! New improvements are on the horizon, older deteriorating infrastructure is being repaired, and the small town atmosphere is being retained.
