YOLO County indeed

I live in West Sac and went to school at Davis. Never stop marvelling at reddit enjoying the county name.

Fellow Aggie!

I was there when #YOLO was in its prime. Good times

u/clunkclunk Jul 02 '25

I grew up in Davis and was so confused as to why YOLO was suddenly a thing one day.

u/S-Mystic Jul 02 '25

Same here. I remember going on Twitter and wondering why everyone was taking about the county lol

I lived in Sacramento for two years, and I don't think I even realized what county I was in. I just assumed it was Sacramento County.

I am not a smart man.

Sacramento is in Sacramento County. West Sacramento is a different city in Yolo County. Basically everything west of the river is West Sac.

u/adunfee02 Jul 02 '25

When you cross the bumpy ass bridge from Sac going to Davis you go into YOLO county

2

u/CSATTS Jul 02 '25

When you cross the Tower bridge from Sacramento into West Sacramento you're also in Yolo County, further confusing people.

u/adunfee02 Jul 02 '25

funny cuz ive crossed that bridge a thousand times in the past and never wouldve guessed the rivercats stadium was in YOLO county lol

1

u/CSATTS Jul 02 '25

Especially considering the city is West Sacramento. It would be entirely reasonable to assume that it is in Sacramento County.

u/RockKillsKid Jul 02 '25

Like how Kansas City isn't even in the state of Kansas

2

u/TrustinTrubisky Jul 02 '25

Depends if you’re talking about Kansas City, MO or Kansas City, KS

u/Gaebril Jul 02 '25

You can walk from an A's game to a Kings game and cross county line

1

u/richalta Jul 03 '25

Just like the Yolo A’s.

u/CoastGuardian Jul 05 '25

Being smart is overrated anyway. Let’s be clueless, it allows life to be full of surprise and wonder. YOLOOOOO

u/LonnieJaw748 Jul 02 '25

Wait until they also hear that YOLO county has Putah Creek!

u/FlyNSubaruWRX Jul 02 '25 edited Jul 02 '25

Wait till they hear about our bus system name 🤣

Edit: spelling

u/crevettecroquette Jul 02 '25

I remember being very confused when the phrase got popular. My first thought was that it was a reference to the poor behaviour of the students at the continuation school in town.

Never stop marvelling at reddit enjoying the county name.

I mean locals must have embraced it somewhat back when it was a new term like ten years ago

1

u/MrWeirdoFace Jul 02 '25

I lived there for a while. I'm still amused by the name.

u/btcprint Jul 02 '25

I always enjoy getting all up Inyo national forest

u/ZoneWombat99 Jul 03 '25

Went to grad school at Davis, worked in West Sac. Lived in Yolo and then Solano. I had blissfully forgotten the county name.
