Sacramento's most dramatic influence
since it was founded in 1839 came
just nine years later: the discovery
of gold, which prompted the infamous
gold rush and the largest human migration
in American history. All the attention
brought money into the city and Sacramento
was declared the capital of California
in 1854. Interestingly, Sacramento
is still one of California's...
With an abundance of trees, 1,000 miles of
delta waterways, and a rousing political scene,
Sacramento offers more than just easy access
to nearby Napa Valley, San Francisco, and Lake
Tahoe.
