-SACRAMENTO TRAVEL GUIDE-

History of Sacramento
Knowing the history of Sacramento when you visit can make your vacation come alive.
In 1808, Spanish explorer Gabriel Moraga found the Maidu Native American tribe living peacefully in the Northern California valley lying between the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the east and the Pacific Coast Mountains to the west. Warm summers, mild winters, a dependable yearly rainy season and plenty of fresh water resulted in a landscape so green and abundant that Gabriel Moraga named the valley after the Holy Sacrament—Sacramento. By the 1830s and 1840s, only a handful of Anglo-American settlers were living in coexistence with the native Maidu and other Native American tribes. While their numbers were few, these first settlers had learned the secret of the Sacramento Valley: If you plant it, it will grow. Sacramento is one of the richest areas, agriculturally and economically.

Touring Sacramento
When you leave the Sacramento Metropolitan Airport in your rental car, travel to downtown Sacramento which sits where the American and Sacramento rivers meet. As you tour Sacramento, the State Capital of California, you'll see that it is a city of contrasts: from its glass and steel business buidings to its tree-shaded streets lined with elegant Victorian homes. Unlike most major metropolitan areas that grew from one civic center, Sacramento started as several small communities that grew together. Having left Sacramento Metropolitan Airport and you travel in your car down Interstate 5 southeast of Sacramento Airport visitors and tourists can see the 2 rivers winding their way down to the Delta. From the gold rush days in the 1800s to today, the Sacramento region extends west from Davis and Woodland to the preserved frontier town of Auburn a place that is not to be missed on your tour. Continue on your holiday travels and drive your rental car northeast along Interstate 80, to vacation spots in the Sacramento River Delta area.

Take a tour in your rental car or SUV to Old Sacramento, a 12-block restored neighborhood between the river and Interstate 5. It is a state historic district with interesting old stone and brick buildings. This is also a venue for tourist entertainment such as a world-class comedy club, a live theatre and elegant restaurants with sweeping views of the river. As you travel in your car rental car in the area, you can also find candy stores, costume shops, drive in your car to pubs and bookstores along the canopied plank sidewalks. The focal point of downtown is the Downtown Plaza, reached from Old Sacramento through a pedestrian tunnel. Plaza shoppers and tourists are entertained by strolling musicians, jugglers, acrobats and mimes. Beyond the plaza is the K Street Mall, which is home to the Crest Theater. This Art Deco Mall was a vaudeville theater that has been restored and is now a repertory cinema featuring art and foreign titles. Travel further down K Street and you'll find the Esquire IMAX Theatre with its six-story tall screen, several vintage record stores, novelty shops and a blues club. Tourists may also enjoy the splashy psychedelic murals painted on the dignified walls.

Having arrived at Sacramento Metropolitan Airport in your car you may be surprised to see the many trees in the Midtown district. Throughout the Sacramento area, there are more than 250,000 varieties of fruit, flowering and palm trees. Many of the trees are huge elms and oaks planted by homesick settlers. Include on your tour as you drive your cars the several cutting-edge off-Broadway theaters, a diversity of art galleries, fine and down-home dining establishments, as well as nightspots catering to every taste.

Drive your rental car across the American River to North Sacracmento which is an old neighborhood centered on Del Paso Boulevard. It has more than a dozen galleries. Today you'll find in this area, known as Uptown, interesting restaurants and cafes, and other businesses busily renovating the old neighborhood. Travel in your rental cars East of downtown Sacramento, you'll find the town of Folsom which traces its history directly to the Gold Rush. Travel to this area and you'll find a four-block stretch of Sutter Street, now designated a historic district. It offers restaurants, coffeehouses and boutiques. Travel in your cheap car rental vehicle to the Folsom Zoo, affectionately nicknamed the “Misfit Zoo,” because it provides a haven for injured animals such as bears, bobcats, wolves, dogs and domestic cats.

The Yolo Bypass levees were built due to extensive flooding. The Causeway, a section of Interstate 80 on stilts, crosses the Yolo Bypass and connects downtown Sacramento with Davis. Travel by rental car to The University of California, Davis. Most evenings, the downtown streets overflow with townsfolk and tourists, alike, seeking unique events such as poetry readings, live theater, gallery openings and music concerts, all reflective of the university student population.

Your touring holiday will be influenced by Sacramento's Gold Rush past and by its forward-looking future. Rent a car at Sacramento Metropolitan Airport and visit Sacramento.
