Home to University of California at Davis, the city is known as a university town with a progressive and environmentally conscious mind set. ~ City Town Info.

The city is also home to an off-campus branch of Sacramento City College. Davis is often referred to as the "most bicycle friendly town in the world", due to its wide streets and numerous bike paths. Since the 1960s, Davis has had one of the highest cyclist per capita ratios in the nation.

Founded in 1868, the city was originally named Davisville for Jerome C. Davis, a prominent local farmer. By the time of its incorporation in 1917, the city's name had been shortened to Davis. Historically an agricultural town, Davis became home to the University of California at Davis in 1908, at which time the university was known as the "University Farm School". Today Davis is widely noted for its contributions not only in agriculture, but in many other fields, including life sciences, biotechnology, veterinary medicine, medical technology, and engineering.  ~ City Town Info | City Of Davis California

One of Davis' strong points is its emphasis on parks and open spaces. The city's Central Park includes a Teen Center and the Davis Farmer’s Market, an event held every Wednesday and Saturday year round at which attendees can find gourmet foods, arts and crafts and specialty products, and can also enjoy live entertainment. The area also offers many cultural attractions. Art lovers can sample works at a number of galleries including "The Artery", a local artists’ cooperative, and at a longtime downtown site, the "Pence Gallery". Music lovers can enjoy year-round performances by The Davis Musical Theater Company and the Davis Comic Opera Company. Other local attractions City Town Info  include:

• Toad Tunnel: Constructed in 1995 to prevent frogs from being killed by traffic on a newly-constructed overpass which replaced a crossing route to the reservoir, the 18-inch high and 21-inch wide tunnel went unused at first because the frogs refused to use it. When the tunnel was lit to encourage its use, some frogs died from the heat of the lamps. Another problem: word got around in the bird community about the frog-producing hole in the ground at the tunnel's exit. The tunnel still lives, however, and its exit has been decorated to resemble a toad town.
• UC Davis Arboretum
• Whole Earth Festival: A three-day annual music and education festival which takes place at UC Davis during Mother's Day Weekend.
• Picnic Day: Another annual event held at the UC Davis campus every April, this is the largest student-run event in the US. Over 150 free events are featured including a large parade and a Battle of the Bands.
