Madison (formerly Cache Creek) is a census-designated place (CDP) in Yolo County, California. Madison's ZIP Code is 95653 and its area code 530. It is located 10.5 miles (17 km) west of Woodland, at an elevation of 151 feet (46 m). The 2010 United States census reported Madison's population was 503.
The Cache Creek post office opened in 1852, moved and changed its name to Madison in 1877. The name was bestowed by Daniel Bradley Hulbert after his hometown, Madison, Wisconsin. The townsite was laid out and named "Madison" in 1877 when the railroad, the Vaca Valley and Clear Lake Railroad, reached that spot, as the terminus, after expanding north from Winters. The Cache Creek Post Office had been located in the settlement of Cottonwood, approximately one mile south of Madison. Many of Cottonwood's structures were then moved to Madison, as Cottonwood did not have a railroad stop.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP covers an area of 1.547 square miles (4.007 km²), all of it land.
The 2010 United States Census reported that Madison had a population of 503. The population density was 325.1 people per square mile (125.5/km²).
