Sacramento, California, was named after the Sacramento River, which itself was named by Spanish explorer Gabriel Moraga in 1808. The name "Sacramento" is derived from the Spanish word for "sacrament," and it was chosen in reference to the Catholic sacrament of the Eucharist. The city was founded during the California Gold Rush in 1848 and quickly grew as a key transportation and trade hub.
