Sacramento information

Sacramento, city (1990 pop. 369,365), state capital and seat of Sacramento co., central Calif., on the Sacramento River at its confluence with the American River; settled 1839, inc. 1850. A deepwater port via a 43-mi (69-km) channel to Suisun Bay (opened 1963), it is the shipping, rail, processing, and marketing center for the fertile Sacramento valley, where fruit, vegetables, rice, wheat, and dairy goods are produced. Cattle is raised, and food processing is a major industry. There are large canneries, frozen-food plants, meatpacking houses, flour and rice mills, and almond-shelling establishments. Aerospace and electronics industries contribute greatly to the city's economy and development. Sacramento is one of the fastest-growing U.S. cities, marked by a population increase of 34% between 1980 and 1990. It lies on a part of a Mexican land grant that belonged to John A. Sutter, who in 1839 began a settlement called New Helvetia and in 1840 built a fort. The discovery of gold in 1848 at nearby Sutter's Mill (now Coloma) led to the platting of the town, and its population soon reached 10,000. Sacramento was made the state capital in 1854. The city annexed adjacent North Sacramento in 1965. It is the seat of California State Univ. at Sacramento. Sacramento also has a professional basketball team, the Kings. Points of interest include the capitol building in a beautiful park, the governor's mansion (occupied 1903-68; now a museum), Sutter's Fort, and the Crocker Art Gallery. The city is known for its camellias; a camellia festival is held annually along with the California State Fair and Exposition.
