History

The City of Sacramento was founded in 1849 to create order out of the chaotic gold rush descending on the Sacramento Valley. In July 1849 Sacramento founded a marshal’s office, which was the beginning of the Sacramento Police Department. The city was chartered in October 1849 and became the first chartered city in California.
