Sacramento, The Big Tomato, River City, Sactown. Welcome to the many sides of Sacramento, California's capital since 1855 and the Golden State's oldest incorporated city (1850). Sacramento County real estate covers approximately 994 square miles extending from the low delta between the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers north to about 10 miles past the State Capitol and east to the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
Among the first known residents to enjoy the area's mild winters and 100 degree summer days were the Miwok, Shonommey and Maidu Indians who lived here for possibly thousands of years. In the early 1800s it was Spanish explorer, Gabriel Moraga, who named the Sacramento Valley after the Spanish term for "sacrament." And in 1839, pioneer John Sutter established Sutter's Fort, a trading colony and stockade, now a midtown museum. When gold was discovered 1848, Sacramento's population soared as hundreds of fortune hunters made Sacramento their home.
