Extended information:

Sacramento (alias: Sacramento) is a city located in central California, on the Sacramento River Basin, and is the county seat of Sacramento County. It is also the seat of the state capital of California.

Sacramento was originally a castle built by Swiss immigrants. In January 1848, when James W. Marshall was building a sawmill, he accidentally discovered gold in the local river, and it was of high purity. After the news came out, it shocked Europe and the United States. Gold prospectors from all over the country poured into California in large numbers, setting off a famous gold rush in history.

Sacramento quickly transformed from a small town into an important economic and transportation hub. The first transcontinental railway terminal in the United States was built here. Since there were many workers from southern China during the construction of the mainland railway, many Chinese immigrants settled here with the construction of the railway. These workers from Guangdong spoke Cantonese, which is why this place was originally called "Sacramento" , and until now, the local Chinese are still used to calling it Sacramento and don't like the translation of "Sacramento".

Driving by the gold rush, Sacramento’s commercial and agricultural development was astonishing. Trains, carriages, and ships were coming and going all the time. All kinds of goods and people were coming in and out. The city of Sacramento was a busy place. It was also established and became the earliest autonomous city in California. In 1854, the California Legislature and state government moved to Sacramento and became the capital of California.

Old Sacramento, a historic site in Sacramento, retains wooden houses, steam trains, gold mining machines, etc. from more than 150 years ago. It has a typical western cowboy flavor and is a favorite for tourists. A must visit. There are also the Romanesque Corinthian State House (1860) in Municipal Park, the Crocker Art Museum and Sutter's Fort, which houses a museum of Indian and pioneer relics.
