Sutter's Fort was at the end of trail and in what is now Sacramento. It belonged to John Sutter who got a Mexican land grant from the Mexican government. He had to become a Mexican citizen and be a Catholic to get the grant. Gold was later discovered at his saw mill in Columa and by the end of the gold rush he had lost everything. He died broke, but because of him the city of Sacramento exists and you can visit his fort.
