Webster is a small, quiet place in Yolo County, California. It is known as an "unincorporated community." This means it's a group of homes and businesses that are part of the larger county, rather than being its own separate town with its own local government.
Exploring Webster, California
Webster is located about 5 miles (8 kilometers) east-northeast of the city of Davis. It sits at an elevation of 26 feet (8 meters) above sea level. This means it's quite close to the ground, not high up in the mountains.

A Look at Webster's Past
Back in 1913, a book described Webster as being along an important car route. This route connected Davis to another place called Broderick. This shows that even a long time ago, Webster was part of the travel paths in the area.
