Foothill Farms & North Highlands

Developed in response to the influx of migrants brought by the McClellan Air Force Base in the 1930s, Foothill Farms and North Highlands have long been home to resilient families. However, discriminatory policies like redlining and low tax revenue led to decades of underinvestment, leaving Black families with limited access to essential services. Today, these two neighborhoods are united in their efforts to overcome economic disempowerment and celebrate the excellence of their residents.
