Sacramento was founded in 1848 as an outgrowth of Sutter's Mill, where gold had been discovered.
During the gold rush, Sacramento was a major distribution point, a commercial and agricultural center, and terminus for wagon train, stagecoach, riverboat, telegraph, Pony Express and the first Transcontinental Railroad.
Our Savior, Placerville, planted in 1861, is one of many historic churches in Gold Country. |
