Founded in 1849,
Sacramento was California's first charter city and is at the heart of
California history – the
gold rush, Pony Express and first continental railroad all
began in Sacramento. The confluence of two of the state's largest rivers is
just a short walk from the steps of City Hall. San Francisco, Lake Tahoe and Yosemite Valley, all offering a wide
variety of recreational and cultural activities, are just a few hours away.
The city's rich historical heritage, commitment to quality of life, and
abundance of trees and parkland contributed to Newsweek magazine
naming Sacramento one of the ten best cities in the United States.
