open_in_full

Sacramento is the capital city of the U.S. state of California and the seat of government of Sacramento County. It is located at the confluence of the Sacramento River and the American River in the northern portion of California's expansive Central Valley. With an estimated population nearly 500,000, Sacramento is the sixth-largest city in California and the 35th largest city in the United States.

Sacramento is the core cultural and economic center of the Sacramento metropolitan area which includes seven counties with an estimated population more than 2.5 million. Its metropolitan area is the fourth largest in California after the Greater Los Angeles Area, San Francisco Bay Area, and the San Diego metropolitan area, as well as the 25th largest in the United States. Sacramento was cited by Time magazine as America's most ethnically and racially integrated city in 2002.

Sacramento State is the largest local university. It is one of the twenty-three campuses of the California State University system. University of the Pacific's McGeorge School of Law is located in the Oak Park neighborhood. In addition, the University of California, Davis is located in nearby Davis, 15 miles (24 km) west of the capital. The UC Davis Medical Center, a world-renowned research hospital, is located in the city of Sacramento.

Transportation and Infrastructure

open_in_full

The City of Sacramento is centrally located near all modes of transportation, making it easy to transport goods as well as access the global network. Additionally, the City and partner agency's continued transportation and utility infrastructure investment provides further reason for business expansion and relocation. Perhaps Sacramento's greatest transportation attribute is being the connecting point of Interstate 5 and Interstate 80. This offers easy access to and from Sacramento.
