The ZIP code for Antelope: 95843 [4] In the late 1800s, Antelope was the only significant settlement in the Center Township, an area bounded on the North by the Placer county line, on the East by what is now Sunrise Blvd., on the South by the American River, and on the West by the line along 20th St in Rio Linda south to Ethan Way in the Arden-Arcade area.

Many of the railroad workers made their homes here and eventually stayed permanently.

Gradually, workers left the area and Antelope became just another small community with little business.

On April 28, 1973, Antelope consisted of a post office, general store and a half-dozen homes.

The proposed and ultimate closure of nearby McClellan Air Force Base between the years 1993-2001 did have a slowing-down economic impact upon this area (the “North Watt Avenue corridor”).

2,107 households (14.9%) were made up of individuals, and 447 (3.2%) had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.

In the California State Legislature, Antelope is in the 4th Senate District, represented by Republican Marie Alvarado-Gil, and in the 7th Assembly District, represented by Republican Josh Hoover.

All traffic related incidents occurring in unincorporated Antelope are handled by the California Highway Patrol North Sacramento Area Office.

Pokelma Park is located on Quiet Knolls Drive off of Elverta Road (behind WinCo Foods).

It consists of multiple plastic playground and a big, grassy field.
