Information for Travelers
It's one of the easiest cities to fall in love with.
Sacramento's famous saying is that “California starts here” and after spending a little time here you will understand why.
Before the Gold Rush that changed the face of California forever, the community focused on Sutter's Fort.
Created by John Sutter in 1839, the fort was a hive of activity until James W. Marshall, a fort official, discovered gold about 45 miles east of the fort and started the California Gold Rush.
The history of the Sacramento Zoo is fascinating, as it shows how the zoo went from being “the little zoo in the park” to becoming the grand and impressive zoo you'll see today.
Initially, the zoo was very small and housed around 40 animals that were collected in local parks.
Now the zoo has 400 animals from every corner of the globe and focuses its energy on education, recreation and conservation.
