About Sacramento

Hailed as one of the most ethnically diverse and livable cities in America, Sacramento got its start as a supply center for prospectors from around the globe during the 1849 Gold Rush. Since 1854, the city has served as the political nucleus of the nation's most influential state, with the sixth-largest economy in the world.
