About Wheatland
Incorporated in 1874, Wheatland has both a rich history and a bright future. Some families have been here for generations while others are new to the area. All have come to know and appreciate the special qualities that come from the small town “feel” that is Wheatland. Your City government provides all of the basic municipal services – police, fire, water, sewer, wastewater treatment, street maintenance, planning, building inspections…and more.
It is nice to know that Wheatland citizens elect 5 people from their own neighborhoods to guide and direct the day-to-day operations as well as plan for the future. And the future is bright! New improvements are on the horizon, older deteriorating infrastructure is being repaired, and the small town atmosphere is being retained.
