Flag Multimedia is located in beautiful Lincoln, CA. Lincoln is located 112 miles northeast of San Francisco and 27 miles northeast of Sacramento near the Sierra Nevada foothills. The city was incorporated on August 18, 1890, and currently has a population of approximately 24,000 residents. Lincoln was named the fastest growing city in California in 2002!
The original townsite was surveyed and laid out in 1859 by Theodore D. Judah along the proposed line of the California Central Railroad. The name "Lincoln" was conferred in honor of Charles Lincoln Wilson, one of the organizers and directors of the California Central. The CCRR was planned as a rail link between the cities of Marysville and Sacramento via a connection to the Sacramento Valley Railroad in Folsom. Grading from Folsom to Marysville commenced in 1858 and was completed to Marysville by 1860. Track laying began that same year and the rails reached the site of Lincoln in early 1861. At this point, due to a lack of funds, further construction on the California Central was temporarily halted and Lincoln experienced a small-scale boom as the northern terminus of this new road. Within a few years, however, more investors were found and the line was extended to Wheatland, in Yuba County, bringing an end to this early stage of Lincoln's development. When most of its population and business moved on with the railroad, the town settled into a lull until the early 1870s, when rich clay deposits were discovered nearby. This led to the establishment of Gladding, McBean & Co., the pottery for which Lincoln is famous, ushering in a new era of prosperity and growth.
