SACRAMENTO
The City of Sacramento is the
cultural, educational, business and governmental center of a four - county
metropolitan region. As California's capitol city, Sacramento is center stage
for governmental policy for the entire state. A dynamic business sector, an
expanding public transportation system (including Light Rail), affordable
housing, and growing cultural, educational, and medical facilities serve the
needs of 1.5 million people.
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.
Sacramentans enjoy professional
ballet, opera, theater, outstanding museums, one of the best small zoos in
the country, and the NBA's Sacramento Kings. Each year the city hosts the
world's largest Dixieland Jazz Jubilee, and many other recreational,
entertainment and cultural activities.
Sacramento has also become one of
California's main tourist centers. 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. The
region is served by law schools, a California State University, a University of
California campus, and numerous community colleges.
