Sacramento is
the capital of the U.S. state of California
and the county seat of Sacramento County,
California. It is the 7th largest city in
California. It was founded in December of
1848 by John Sutter. Sacramento grew from
Sutter's Fort, which was established by
Sutter in 1839, and the city is now a
quickly growing metropolis. 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. The city proper is home to about
450,000 residents, while the 5 county
metropolitan area (El Dorado, Placer,
Sacramento, Sutter, Yolo Counties) is home
to 2.5 million people. The Sacramento metro
area is the fourth most populous in
California behind the greater Los
Angeles-Orange County area, the San
Francisco bay area, and the greater San
Diego region. The five aforementioned
counties make up the 28th most populous
metro area in the United States.
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.
Sac State (California State University,
Sacramento), is the local university and is
one of twenty-three campuses (and growing)
in the California State University system.
