Aerial
View

Old
Sacramento
,
Sacramento
, CA
Date
1996
Description
The
Old
Sacramento
District
is
a
national
historic
landmark
due
to its
rich
place
in
California
history
. A
quarter
of a
million
immigrants
came
to the
Sacramento
area
,
withstanding
the
ravages
of
fire
,
flood
and
disease
to
build
their
lives
.
Stagecoaches
,
riverboats
and the
transcontinental
railroad
all
transported
goods
into and
out
of
Sacramento
. In the
50
years
following
the
completion
of the
transcontinental
railroad
however
,
businesses
located
in
Old
Sacramento
would
prosper
and then
relocate
to a
new
area
.
Cheap
hotels
,
bars
and
labor
agencies
would
move
in to
occupy
the
old
buildings
. The
area
began
to
deteriorate
and by the
late
1940’s
the
area
was
declared
to be a
problem
. The
1950’s
saw
the
proposal
of
redevelopment
of the
area
and was
declared
as a
project
, the
California
State
Parks
declared
seven
acres
as a
historic
park
,
helping
local
officials
to
envision
the
area’s
potential
.
“Old
Sacramento
is
the
foundation
for
many
ideas
and
values
, and the
site
of the
merger
of those
who
came
by
land
and
sea
to
live
the
story
of the
gold
rush
,
where
California
moved
from an
oxcart
economy
to the
richest
state
in the
nation.”
