Colonial Heights is a neighborhood in the southeast part of the City of Sacramento, California. An older neighborhood, established in 1910, it makes a fairly typical example of a turn of the century "Streetcar Suburb". Before cars and buses took over for transportation needs, it was built around the convenient and efficient electric streetcar service provided by the Central California Traction Company.{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=cEbgbhxPVXYC|title=Sacramento's Streetcars|last=Burg|first=William|date=2006-01-01|publisher=Arcadia Publishing|isbn=9780738531472|page=89|language=en}}
