About Sacramento

Sacramento is the capital of the state of California in the United States. It is situated in the Sacramento Valley of Northern California, near the junction of the Sacramento and American rivers. It has a population of 524,943, recorded in 2020, making it the sixth-largest city in California. Sacramento is California's fastest-growing metropolitan area, owing to its reputation as an important political centre on the West Coast and a central educational hub, being the home of California State University, Sacramento. As the home of Sutter Health, the world-renowned UC Davis Medical Center, and the UC Davis School of Medicine, the city is an important centre for the California healthcare industry. This city started as a small wharf, and it began to grow due to the Gold Rush when many people flocked to the confluence of the Sacramento and American rivers to look for gold. Because of the trade, John Sutter Jr. recognised he could build a sustainable city and opted to make a grid-like city with lettered streets for clarity and organisation purposes. The town contains a few parks where everyone can rest, such as California State Park and Old Sacramento State Historic Park. The Harvard University Civil Rights Project named Sacramento "America's Most Diverse City" for Time magazine in 2002. It is also known as California's hippest city! As a result, it is a desirable area to live in because it is diverse and constantly changing!
