Additional Information Established in 1848 on the western bank of the Sacramento River, this stunning depiction of California’s Capital city immediately transports the viewer back in time. It creates an indelible link between the past and present. By 1890 the iconic city was thriving and on a period of growth, prosperity, and transition. The first transcontinental telegraph line in Sacramento was completed in 1861. It marked the closure of the iconic Pony Express, which also had its last stop in Sacramento. Sacramento was also home to the first stop of the Transcontinental Railroad. The period leading to the turn of the century marked an economic boom for the city, which enjoyed a diverse economy aided by the railroad hub in the city. Sacramento’s history is marked by transportation, and its location in the central region of California allowed for a thriving agricultural industry, as well as manufacturing and banking in the urban centers. Vast cattle ranches surrounded Sacramento, and these were critical for supplying Union forces during the Civil War. The invention of refrigerated rail cars allowed for perishable items like fruits and vegetables to become valuable commodities in Northern and Eastern markets. Sacramento’s rich history as the banking hub of central and Northern California was established in the Gold Rush of 1848 when gold was discovered at Sutter’s Mill some fifty miles northeast of the city. This led to a large population expansion of prospectors and those eager to profit off of them. This is truly an authentic piece of American cartographical history. Our museum quality giclee print comes printed with archival ink on premium heavyweight matte paper. Shipped in a sturdy cardboard tube your print will arrive ready to be framed. This eye-catching vintage map reproduction print makes the perfect gift for anyone that loves history and imagery.
