Sutter got a land grant from Mexico for the land that is now Sacramento. He built the fort to be the end point for the wagons and people he knew would come to CA eventually. What he didn't count on was the Gold Rush that was started by John Marshall at the mill Sutter built. Sutter was also prominent in the start of the Bear Flag Republic. John C. Fremont went to see Sutter before the republic was declared and told him he had to take sides. Fremont wanted to bring the Mexican governor to be held at Sutter's fort, but since Sutter had a Mexican land grant Sutter wasn't sure he could count on him for help. Finally, Sutter did agree to keep the governor and the rest is history. On Sept. 9, 1850 California became a state and because of the gold rush Sutter died a poor man.

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.
