The California State Legislature, with the support of Governor John Bigler, moved to Sacramento in 1854. The capital of California (Mexico) before 1846 was located in Monterrey where in 1849 the first Constitutional Convention and state elections were held. In 1849 the State Legislature voted to site the State Capitol in San Jose. After 1850, when California became a state, the Capitol was also located in Vallejo, and Benicia before moving to Sacramento. In the 1879 Constitutional Convention, Sacramento was named to be the permanent State Capital.
