| History: | During the 1840s, Sutter's Fort, situated at the convergence of overland immigrant trails, was the most strategically located site in Northern California.

Discovery of gold in the Sierra foothills, ironically at a saw mill constructed for Sutter, led to the collapse of Sutter's growing empire. |
