About Sacramento
Sacramento, Spanish for “Holy Sacrament”, became California’s state capital in 1854. The capitol building and its grounds cover 37 acres (15 ha) and was formally used for the first time by the legislature in 1869. The California Host State is looking forward to hosting clerks, secretaries and their staff at the home of Joseph Beek and Paul Mason.
The “River City” sits at the confluence of the American and Sacramento Rivers and is the sixth largest city in California with a population of approximately 473,000. It occupies an area of 101 square miles in the center of the Sacramento Valley, 72 miles northeast of San Francisco. Protected by the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the east, the California Coast ranges to the west, and the Siskiyou Mountains to the north, the city enjoys a mild climate for most of the year. The average temperature in October ranges from a high of 83 to a low of about 50 degrees.
While visiting Sacramento, you will have a plethora of choices for dining and shopping in downtown and midtown. During your travels you must see Old Town Sacramento, located along the Sacramento River and home to the Delta King Riverboat. Once you are finished with Old Town, the art buffs can visit the renowned Crocker Art Museum, home to the Crocker family collection. Between what’s planned, and the treasures you are sure to discover on your own, you’ll enjoy visiting with your friends and touring the city.
