The WOH is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (1971), inventory of Historic Sites in Yolo County (1972), was on the Historic American Building Survey (1966), and listed in the Woodland Historical Zone (1971). Ease of access to the city provided by the close proximity of I-5 and I-80 as well as the Sierra Northern Railway and the California Northern Railroad are most likely why businesses have done so well in Woodland. Woodland's short distance from the Sacramento and San Francisco metro areas also provide businesses another reason to set up shop in town. In the city, the population was spread out, with 29.7% under the age of 18, 9.6% from 18 to 24, 30.3% from 25 to 44, 19.9% from 45 to 64, and 10.5% who were 65 years of age or older.

The Opera House was rebuilt between 1895 and 1896 by local contractor William H. Winne at the cost of $8,990.[3] Many of the materials from the original building were used including some of the partially standing walls. The building is owned by the State of California but management is by a professional staff hired by the Woodland Opera House Board of Trustees. The Board is made up of arts lovers, theatre buffs, historians and business persons. Although the building is owned by the State of California, it receives no financial support from the state, the county or the city.
Transportation
One of the newest and most popular attractions of the county fair is the "Yolo Idol Search" based on the TV show American Idol. There are also several exhibition halls where fair-goers can peruse through stands set up by local businesses and groups. As of the census of 2000, there were 16,751 households, and 12,278 families residing in the city. The population density was 4,765.7 inhabitants per square mile (1,840.0/km2).
The 2010 United States Census[26] reported that Woodland had a population of 55,468. The population density was 3,624.7 inhabitants per square mile (1,399.5/km2). In 2018, thanks in part to the establishment of the new community near Pioneer High School, Spring Lake Elementary was created. Parsons was a dynamo busting the balls of Etheredge in trying to get to the bottom of Joe Hardy’s background. Etheredge with his tall sly demeanor was a lovable devil and great at covering up the small mishaps with the sound system during his musical number.

The season offers great comedy, contemporary and classic musicals and includes something special for every age group. We ventured below stage to the prop storage area next and peeked in the three dressing rooms, their walls covered with the signature of actors from past performances. After that brief stop, we returned to the main floor, where we popped into the museum rooms. The larger of the two used to serve as the ladies’ lounge, complete with a fainting couch. Our tour guide took us on stage, where we got an up-close look at some of the theater’s features, including several trap doors. I was fascinated by the display of gaslights used to illuminate the theater prior to electric lights.

The area was well irrigated due to the efforts of James Moore, which drew people into farming as the soil was very fertile. The city gained a federal post office in 1861 with the help of Missourian Frank S. Freeman.A year after this, in 1862, the county seat was moved from Washington (present day West Sacramento) to Woodland after Washington was flooded. The addition of a railroad line to Sacramento, and the more recent addition of Interstate 5, helped the city to thrive.
The Census reported that 54,483 people (98.2% of the population) lived in households, 156 (0.3%) lived in non-institutionalized group quarters, and 829 (1.5%) were institutionalized. Woodland has a Mediterranean climate with dry, hot summers and cool, relatively wet winters, as with the rest of California's Sacramento Valley. In the hottest month, July, average high temperatures range from 94 °F 58 °F. Average lows range from 58 °F in July to 38 °F in December and January.

There are many routes to and from Downtown Sacramento, Davis, Cache Creek Casino Resort, and other areas of Yolo County. Two freeways run through the city, State Route 113 and Interstate 5. The roads (especially in the older part of the city) are straight, forming a grid. The City of Woodland and Woodland Chamber of Commerce put on a Christmas parade each year that draws a crowd of around 30,000 people in downtown Woodland.[32] It is one of the largest holiday parades in Northern California. Started in 1964, the Woodland Christmas Parade now has around 150 entries each year, including marching bands, floats, dance groups, military units, and novelty entries from local groups as well as from the surrounding area.
It was established in 1857 before the City of Woodland was incorporated. The WAVE (Woodland Access Visual Enterprises) Channel 21 is Woodland's Public-access television cable TV station which airs footage from a variety of community activities. Some examples are local high school football games, the Yolo County Fair, the Woodland Christmas Parade, as well as televised classes from Woodland Community College Educational-access television program. It is a California Historical Landmark and a California State Historic Park that was originally built in 1885 and was rebuilt due to fire in 1895–1896. The opera house was rebuilt on the original site with some of the intact bricks and foundation.[36] It was the first opera house to serve the Sacramento Valley.
Other programming and rental brings in about 15%, fundraising totals another 15%, and the remainder of the budget is balanced with donations, corporate underwriting, foundation grants, etc. The Yolo County Fair is held in Woodland in the middle of August each year, running Wednesday afternoon through Sunday evening. Started in 1935 (current site in 1940),[28] it is the largest free admission fair in the state of California, and as such, people come from all over Northern California to enjoy this event. There are demolition derbies in the fairground's arena, local FFA and 4-H competitions going on, as well as several other agricultural related competitions.
