Cars for Sale in Sacramento, California

The capital of California has a long and vibrant history. A major distribution point during the California Gold Rush, Sacramento gained prominence also because of its location on the Transcontinental Railroad. It is currently the sixth largest city in California. It has the distinguished title of being “America’s Most Diverse City” according to Time Magazine.

In 1985, the city proudly welcomed the then-Kansas City Kings as Sacramento’s lone professional sports team. The NBA rivalry that has developed between the Sacramento Kings and the L.A. Lakers is a fiercely competitive one. In addition to professional sports, Sacramento is home to an extensive and marvelous parks system, tied for third with San Francisco and Boston for parks systems among the country’s most populous cities.

Sacramento’s cultural history is extensive. The Crocker Art Museum is the oldest public art museum west of the Mississippi River, and Sacramento’s annual Museum Day draws close to 100,000 people for free museum admission. Two film festivals are held in the town each year: the Sacramento French Film Festival and the more recent Sacramento Horror Film Festival. As the capital of the state, Sacramento also holds the California State Fair each year, an event that attracts an impressive attendance.
