Why is sutters fort important?
Sutter's Fort was build by John Sutter with land he got from a Mexican land grant. For many years it was the only stopping place for settlers coming into the upper San Joaquin Valley after the long wagon train ride across country. As a result the area around the fort grew and eventually became the city of Sacramento. Sutter planed out the city and it still shows his influence. Sutter's Fort also became important in the establishment of the state of CA. John C. Fremont had the Mexican governor taken there and held while he declared the Republic of CA and flew the first bear flag. Today the fort is a historical site and tours can be taken of the buildings and grounds. It is located in the center of Sacramento.
