About
Florin JACL: The
Florin Chapter of the Japanese American Citizens League (JACL) is one of
the oldest and most active local community organizations involved in
teaching cross-cultural understanding and promoting civil rights of all
people. Established in 1935, the Florin JACL is run entirely by
volunteers, and is sustained from community donations and membership
dues. We host several valued programs open to the entire community each
year. For more information about Florin JACL, click

Oral
History:
The
Florin Oral History Project was initiated to preserve the unique
history of Florin which was once a thriving farming community
with a large Japanese population. Over 70 volumes have been
completed representing a cross-section of the Florin and
Sacramento communities, including those in various occupations,
war veterans, draft resisters, minors in the prisoner of war
exchanges, etc. For more information, click
