Woodlake’s municipal history begins in 1912, when developer Gilbert F. Stevenson founded the community and envisioned citrus orchards around a planned town. The City history describes early investment in streets, water and sewer lines, wells and buildings near the intersection of Valencia and Naranjo Boulevards, as well as early shops, schools, churches, a bank, telephone service and newspaper. Rail access and agriculture helped connect the town to its surrounding region: Stevenson donated right-of-way for a railway, and the Visalia Electric and Santa Fe lines eventually reached Woodlake. The City recounts the development of Bravo Lake, also known as Wood Lake, as a lasting water and recreation feature. Residents voted to incorporate in 1940, making Woodlake Tulare County’s seventh city. A five-member Council appoints its Mayor. Woodlake’s government page describes a five-member City Council elected to staggered four-year terms. Voters select two or three positions every two years; Council members then appoint a Mayor and Vice-Mayor. This is a locally distinctive structure: the Mayor is selected by the Council rather than separately elected according to the City’s description. The Council appoints representatives to regional boards and appoints the City Administrator and City Clerk. The City lists participation in countywide transportation and economic-development bodies alongside other regional boards. Check the municipal government page for current membership and assignments, which can change over time. City administration combines records and service departments. Woodlake’s Administrative Office groups General Administration, the City Clerk, Finance, Planning and Grant Administration.

Planning processes matters such as zoning requests, conditional use permits, site plan reviews, subdivision maps, annexations and environmental impact reports. Grant Administration applies for grants, disburses funds and monitors compliance. The City lists City Hall at 350 N. Valencia Boulevard and provides a central telephone contact; confirm current service hours directly with the City. A city-labelled set of signs, print and web pages.
