Best Answer

cuz it was founded by mexicans

Actually Spanish. Gabriel Morgana explored the Central Valley in around 1805. He named most of the rivers during that time, but with alot more poetry then we have today.

The Merced was El Rio de Nuestra de la Merced

The Kings was Rio de los Santos Reyes

The Sacramento was Rio de los Santisimo Sacramento

Fine, however, What or why they literally and actually believed was sacramental is the quandry here

Under Spanish rule, the capital of California had been Monterey, where the first Constitutional Convention and state elections were held in 1849. After 1850, when California's statehood was ratified, the legislature met in San Jose, Vallejo, and Benicia. Sacramento was named the capital of California in 1854 after the California State Legislature moved there. In 1879, in a Constitutional Convention, Sacramento was named the permanent state capitol.
