Sacramento, California
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sacramento is the state capital of California and the county seat of Sacramento County. Located in California's Central Valley, it is the seventh largest city in California. The city proper is home to about 450,000 residents, and is the core of its five-county
metropolitan area (El Dorado, Placer, Sacramento, Sutter, Yolo Counties) of 2.5 million people. The Sacramento metro area is the fourth most populous in California, behind the Los Angeles-Orange County area, the San Francisco Bay Area, and the San Diego area.
Sacramento was founded in December 1848 by John Sutter. Sacramento grew from Sutter's Fort, which was established by Sutter in 1839. During the gold rush, Sacramento was a major distribution point, a commercial and agricultural center, and a terminus for wagon
trains, stagecoaches, riverboats, the telegraph, the Pony Express and the First Transcontinental Railroad.
Typical of California informality, Sacramento is referred to by many names. The most prevalent are: Capital City, River City (due to the two major rivers which run through the city), and the City of Trees. However, the nickname most used by those living in the area
is simply Sacto, Sactown or Sac. This is evident when residents refer to areas and landmarks by this name. Old Sac is the original town of Sacramento which to this day is maintained. The Big Tomato, Sacratomato, and Sack O' Tomatoes continue to be used despite
the ongoing triumph of tract houses over tomato fields, perhaps in reference to the perceived pastorality of Sacramento in comparison to denser cities such as San Francisco and Los Angeles.
