Established in the mid-1800s by Chinese immigrants who worked for the railroad, Antelope, California, began as a bedroom community. By 1973, Antelope still consisted of little more than a general store and a half-dozen homes when, at 8:03 on the morning of April 28, a rail car loaded with aircraft bombs exploded in the southern part of the neighboring Roseville switching yard and removed all traces of Antelope. The blasts from the Southern Pacific yard were felt in downtown Sacramento, where the state Capitol building was closed for fear of concussions following the blasts rocking the building's fragile dome shifting.

Gov. Ronald Reagan quickly declared a state of emergency for the surrounding area, but nothing could be done to spare Antelope, now reduced to charred wood and concrete slabs. No one was killed in the explosions, but the catastrophe resulted in $7 million worth of damage to the rail yard, houses and businesses stretching from Roseville to North Highlands.

However, as the surrounding communities began to rebuild and grow throughout the 80's and 90's, Antelope grew with them. By 2000, the population of Antelope had grown to more than 36,000, drawn by the same charm, natural beauty and quiet appeal that had welcomed the community's founders 150 years earlier.
