City of Woodland

The City of Woodland’s Facebook page is focusing on public goods, community development, and city projects programs. The City Facebook page pertains only to events that directly serve Woodland residents. The page features updated information about new developments in the City and an open forum for residents to communicate with one another. We want to enhance open lines of communication between City Hall and its community partners. The City of Woodland’s page functions as an informational hub and a key tool in making local government accessible and easy to navigate for the Woodland community.

Woodland has a strong historic heritage, which is reflected in an impressive stock of historic buildings in its downtown area and surrounding neighborhoods. Woodland's agricultural setting is largely responsible for the community's distinct identity and plays and important economic role in Woodland. Due to its proximity to major transportation nodes, Woodland has also become increasingly important as a manufacturing and distribution center.
