History & History Related Items
Sacramento history: Sacramento has been the state capital since 1854. The town was started by Captain John A. Sutter. He called it New Helvetia, a haven for his Swiss Countrymen. When gold was discovered in 1848, most of the workers left the town to hunt gold, leaving Sutter in ruins. He lost his fort in the aftermath. His son took over another nearby area and named it Sacramento City. Because of its proximity to the Gold Rush Country, the population soared, reaching 10,000 within 7 months. The Central Pacific Railroad came over the Sierra Nevada, financed by the "Big Four" - Mark Hopkins, Charles Crocker, Collis P. Huntington and Leland Stanford. This event coupled with a deep water channel dug from the coast has caused Sacramento to grow even more. Sacramento had its share of troubles with flooding occurring often. Residents bounced back, refusing to give up, simply raised their streets 12 feet! Once the gold fever was gone, Sacramento was found to have more to offer its people than just gold. It became a center for trade in a greatly productive agricultural area. Learn about Sacramento and the previous California State Capitals
