About Sacramento

The history of Sacramento dates back to 1808 when European explorers crossing what would later become northern California discovered 2 magnificent rivers and named them the "Sacramento" and the "Jesus Maria". Eventually the latter name was changed to the "American", but Sacramento stuck for both the river and the city.

In the mid 1800's a man from the San Francisco area named John Sutter sent workers to open a Sawmill near Sacramento. It wasn't long before he heard of an unexpected discovery: gold. People all over California flocked to the region hoping to strike it rich as word about the precious metal spread like wildfire. The area around the rivers grew quickly, and Sacramento became an important and central location for California. In 1854 the city was chosen as the official state capital.

Today Sacramento continues to be the center of politics in California, and an ever-developing city. It is a popular destination for both new residents and tourists who come to experience the city that boasts a great location, ideal weather and a top quality of life.
