Bird's
Eye
View
of
Business
District
,
Sacramento
, CA
Description
The
1950s
saw
a
period
of
population
growth
,
increasing
from
8,685
to an
estimated
12,000
.
Sacramento
,
during
that
time
,
provided
employment
for
18,000
people
with an
annual
payroll
of
approximately
$90,000,000
. The
40s
and
50s
also
brought
to
Sacramento
an
age
of
automobiles
and
freeways
.
“The
automobile
and
truck
finally
banished
steamboats
from the
river
and
most
passenger
trains
from the
land
.
Increased
population
brought
thousands
of
additional
autos
and
new
freeways
for them to
travel.”
(McGowan’s
“History
of the
Sacramento
Valley”)
