15HISTORY
17With dreams of a great agricultural empire and holding a land grant from the Mexican government, John A. Sutter sailed up the Sacramento River in August, 1839, and founded the settlement now known as Sacramento. He made friends with the Indians, erected a fort, and soon became prosperous as the head of an agricultural, grain and cattle industry. The discovery of gold at Sutter's mill in Coloma, sixty miles distant, by James Marshall, proved the ruin of Sutter's fortune and the beginning of the rapid growth of Sacramento as the Mecca for the gold seekers in the rush that followed. Sutter's men all deserted him for the mines, he was overrun by the hordes of fortune hunters that soon appeared, and his fortune waned, but his fondest dream of an agricultural empire lived on and has been realized far beyond his expectations.
19Sacramento became the distributing center for the mines, and although the city suffered many reverses in its early history, such as floods, epidemics, and fires, these difficulties were overcome and the city now stands entirely free from such dangers. Sacramento became the State Capital in 1854 and was chartered as a city in 1863.
