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.
Sacramentans enjoy professional ballet, opera, theater, outstanding museums and one of the best small zoos in the country. The restored State Capitol, miles of rivers and river parkways, North America's largest railroad museum, and the Old Sacramento restoration are just a few of the City's many attractions.
Sacramento is a progressive city with great pride in its ethnic and cultural diversity, concern for environmental and social issues, and emphasis on quality in the provision of governmental services.
