The Superior Court of California, County of Yolo County, is the California superior court with jurisdiction over Yolo County.

## History

[edit]

Yolo County was one of the original counties formed in 1850 when California gained statehood.

The first Yolo County Courthouse was completed on January 9, 1864; it was designed by the only architect in Woodland, California, A.A. Bennett. The builder was P. McManus; work began on June 26, 1863, and was scheduled to complete by October 1. The final cost was US$27,858.40 (equivalent to $560,000 in 2024), overrunning the original budget of US$24,250 by almost 15%. Earthquakes in 1892, 1904, and 1906 led to the condemnation of the building in 1911.[3]

A new Yolo County Courthouse, designed by William H. Weeks, was completed in 1917.[3] It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.[4] As the population of the county grew, the court system also grew to encompass seven separate buildings; a new courthouse was completed in 2015 to consolidate operations into a single building with fourteen courtrooms.[3]
