Sacramento was founded in 1839 by John Sutter, an immigrant from Switzerland who established a stockade and trading colony known as Sutter's Fort. After gold was discovered in the region in 1848, the town's name was changed to Sacramento, after the Sacramento River. It was the second incorporated city in California. Perhaps no other city was as essential to the gold and land rushes of the 1850's as Sacramento. Thousands of settlers descended upon the region, after traveling the 2,000 mile long California Trail, in the hopes of finding fortune in the gold mines.
