Gardenland/Northgate Neighborhood

A Brief History of Our Neighborhood

The Gardenland and Northgate neighborhoods were established during the 1920's, when agriculture and the railroad were the economic foundation of the Sacramento area. Residents of these neighborhoods were drawn to the area by its wide-open beauty and the variety of its landscape. Nearby farming opportunities in the vast expanses of tomato, sugar beet, and rice fields in the greater Natomas area, as well as employment in the nearby railroad maintenance yards also made these neighborhoods desirable locations to settle.

The Gardenland and Northgate neighborhoods continue to offer a peaceful alternative to the hustle and bustle of city and suburban life, in a natural setting comprised of large residential lots.

A very large and close-knit core of residents whose families have lived in the area for many generations enhances life in the neighborhoods. This vanguard of residents maintains a lively social atmosphere in the neighborhoods, as well as an ongoing commitment and dedication to the community.

About our association

When It Began

The Gardenland•Northgate Neighborhood Association (GNNA) was founded in 1990 by Sandi Morris. With a small group of people the GNNA tried furiously to get residents involved. The meetings usually had 6 to 10 residents attending.

People came and went...but eventually it all started to come together.

Resident Input

Residents found that they could provide input to things like parks and playgrounds, gas station/mini marts, alcohol sales, etc.

"We have become not a melting pot but a beautiful mosaic. Different people, different beliefs, different yearnings, different hopes, different dreams." I believe its time to come together and live up to our Mission Statement, to bring residents together to promote involvement in activities that will enhance the quality of life, safety, educational opportunities, beauty and positive business development of our community.
