Emergency Biohazard Cleanup Services in Loomis, CA

Loomis is an incorporated town in Placer County, California, in the Sierra Nevada foothills northeast of Sacramento along Interstate 80, but it did not incorporate until December 17, 1984 — residents voted for town status largely to stop neighboring Rocklin from annexing them and to preserve their rural, small-town character.

Loomis went through a string of names before settling: the post office opened as Placer in 1861, became Smithville in 1862, then Pino in 1869, and in 1890 the Southern Pacific Railroad renamed it Loomis because 'Pino' kept being confused with Reno.

The town is named for pioneer James Loomis, who at one point was practically the whole town — serving simultaneously as saloon keeper, railroad agent, express agent, and postmaster.

In the early 20th century Loomis was the second-largest fruit-shipping station in Placer County, and its historic High Hand and Blue Goose fruit packing sheds still stand along Taylor Road; the Blue Goose now hosts events such as the annual Cowpoke Fall Gathering of cowboy poets.

Loomis had a population of 6,836 at the 2020 census, living in about 3,041 households across the town's 7.27 square miles of large lots and custom homes.

Since 1988 Loomis has celebrated its farming roots each fall with the Eggplant Festival — recently rebranded the Loomis Fruit Shed Fest — complete with an eggplant cooking contest, a kazoo parade, and free pancake breakfast at the fire station.

Local students attend Del Oro High School, whose Future Farmers of America program is a fixture of the town's agricultural festivals.
