A town that kept its own name

Loomis has had a lot of names. Wikipedia says it was Pine, Pino, Smithville and Placer before the railroad settled on Loomis in 1890. The town is named for a pioneer, James Loomis.

Fruit was big business here. Early last century only Newcastle shipped more in Placer County, and the old High Hand and Blue Goose packing sheds are still on the map. Loomis also fought to stay small. It remained county land until December 17, 1984, when voters chose to become a town instead of being absorbed by Rocklin.

Loomis had 6,836 people at the 2020 census. That makes it the smallest town on our list. It sits at about 404 feet, close to Granite Bay's 410.

Fruit trees and old orchards

Loomis shipped fruit for a living. If you have an old fruit tree that has stopped bearing, a pro can tell you if it is worth saving.

Why Loomis cares about its look

Part of the vote to incorporate was about keeping the small-town feel and historic buildings such as the packing sheds. That helps explain why a town this small guards its own say on local matters.

Here's a practical tip. Ask the town early. A small staff can often answer a tree question fast, and you'll know before you pay a pro to come out.

Town rules, not Folsom's

Loomis is an incorporated town. That means it has its own government, and its own say about trees. Folsom's ordinance does not apply here.

We can't read the town's tree page. Our tools can't open it, so we won't quote it. Call the Town of Loomis before you cut an oak or any big tree. If you live just outside the town limits, you may be under Placer County instead. Ask which one you're in.

For a sense of the questions a permit asks, our Folsom permit page is a plain example.

What to ask at town hall

A call to the town takes a few minutes. Keep the street address, the kind of tree and a photo handy. Then ask three things. Does this tree need a permit? Who files it? How long does it take?

Write down who answered and the date. If the answer shifts later, you'll have a record. Hand the note to the pro at the visit.

What to have ready

• The street, and if you're inside the town limits.
• Kind of tree.
• How wide the trunk is, measured 4.5 feet up.
• What's under or next to the tree.
• Any power or phone lines.
