Wheatland is located on the [[Rancho Johnson]] Mexican land grant. A post office opened in 1866.<ref name=CGN />  Wheatland [[municipal corporation|incorporated]] in 1874.<ref name=CGN />

Wheatland was home to a significant [[Chinese American]] community in the 1860s, but all of the Chinese American residents were driven out of town in a series of violent confrontations in February 1886.<ref>{{Cite web | url=http://www.uvm.edu/~jloewen/sundowntownsshow.php?id=1042 | title=Retired service : University of Vermont}}</ref>

In 1888, [[Edward Duplex]] was elected Mayor, the first black man to be elected mayor of a Western United States city. His original barbershop stands today on Main street.

Wheatland was the site of the bloody [[Hop Riot]] of 1913, considered a notable event in farm labor history that left four men dead, a Wheatland constable shot, and martial law imposed before it was over.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20150125072950/http://www.sacbee.com/news/local/history/article2578288.html]</ref>
