3History—Sacramento was founded in 1839 by Capt. John A. Sutter who came up the river from San Francisco to inspect a large grant of land which he had secured from the Mexican Government. A fort was erected; the grain and cattle industry built up, and in 1848 the town was laid out; gold was discovered at Coloma, 60 miles distant on the American River; in another 12 months the gold rush started with Sutter's Fort and Sacramento the mecca for that frenzied mob of adventurers, the "Forty-niners"; Sacramento immediately developed into an important trading and distributing center for the mines; the city was built up very rapidly and in 1852 suffered a loss by fire of $5,000,000; in early years the city suffered severely from floods; the level of the streets was raised and dikes erected, and reclamation projects have reclaimed 250,000 acres in Sacramento Valley which were previously subject to overflow. These lands are productive almost past belief; Sacramento was incorporated as a town in 1849; it became the State Capital in 1854 and was chartered a city in 1863.
5All lands in the Sacramento section are adaptable to the culture of all deciduous fruits, grapes, berries and nuts; also citrus fruits and cereal crops; Sacramento County with an area of 632,108 acres produced crops in the year 1924 valued at over $33,000,000.
