Yolo County is located in the northern part of the U.S. state of California, bordered by the counties of Sacramento, Solano, Napa, Lake, Colusa, and Sutter. It is governed by a board of five district supervisors as well as the governments of its four incorporated cities: Davis, West Sacramento, Winters, and Woodland. Woodland is the county seat. As of the 2000 census, Yolo County had a population of 168,660, and notwithstanding the presence of the University of California, Davis in its midst and the state capital in the neighboring county of Sacramento, Yolo County remains a relatively obscure and rural agricultural area, home to the multi-billion dollar California tomato industry, which dominates 90% of the tomato market in the United States. As of 2000, the population is 168,660.
