Old Finnish Picnic Grounds There are picnic grounds about 200 yards past China Garden Road, adjacent to Interstate 80. These picnic grounds were once a gathering place for Rocklin Finns during the early days. Early Granite Quarry of the Union Granite Company Placer / Rocklin library is located at the intersection of Rocklin Road and Granite Drive. In the early 20th century, the Union Granite Company operated a quarry here under the management of Finnish immigrant Matt Ruhkala. The granite operation of Rocklin flourished in the 1890s and early 20th century, but competition from other building materials dampened the industry's growth thereafter. Even so, Union Granite, along with several other quarries, produced granite curbing and stone for buildings and monuments until at least 1915. Earlier, starting in 1903, Ruhkala operated a quarry east of Rocklin Cemetery. As of now, it is under the westbound lanes of Interstate 80. 3.
