This book was released on 2011 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In post World War II America, cities across the nation witnessed dramatic changes to their urban landscapes as federal urban renewal policies initiated redevelopment projects designed to invigorate and reshape deteriorating city cores. Early policies encouraged wide-scale demolition to renew blighted inner cities. Historic preservation policy was yet in its infancy in terms of authoritative advocacy. Citizens interested in preserving their historic buildings and sites had little recourse but to helplessly watch as city planners and their redevelopment agencies directed bulldozers to raze their neighborhoods and downtowns. In Sacramento, California, preservationists and historians organized to save the oldest section of the city, long regarded as one of the West's most historic. Meanwhile, city and state officials were implementing modernizing plans, which looked toward the future, not the past. In the end, a compromise between all interested parties created one of the nation's first historic districts using urban renewal funds. A Past for the Present is an oral history-based research project that explores the creation and planning of the Old Sacramento Historic District. It seeks to examine Sacramento as a case study of how one city utilized federal urban renewal policies to both reshape its central core and preserve its most historic district. In addition to primary and secondary sources, the project utilizes recorded interviews with three individuals who played principal roles in the creation and development of the Old Sacramento Historic District. While institutional documentation about this subject is available to researchers, there are few records of personal experience from individuals who had leading roles in shaping the historic district. A Past for the Present will fill that gap.

Download or read book Sacramento's Midtown written by Sacramento Archives and Museum Collection Center and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2006-08-07 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Sacramentos neighborhoods grew eastward from Fifteenth Street to Thirty-first Street (later Alhambra Boulevard), the area evolved into a complex mix of housing and businesses known as Midtown. Sutters Fort was still popular, and community groups like the Native Sons of the Golden West restored its last remnants for future generations. In 1927, the city built Memorial Auditorium, a tribute to fallen soldiers, as a large central venue that continues to serve as an important setting for graduations, concerts, and conventions. The J and K Street business corridors expanded from downtown, and identifiable neighborhoods such as Poverty Ridge, Boulevard Park, and New Era Park developed as people settled and established businesses in these growing areas. Todays Midtown supports numerous Victorian mansions and Craftsman bungalows, as well as the legacies of such employers as the California Almond Growers Exchange, California Packing Corporation, Buffalo Brewery, Sutter Hospital, and the Sacramento Bee newspaper.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Often referred to as “the Big Tomato,” Sacramento is a city whose makeup is significantly more complex than its agriculture-based sobriquet implies. In River City and Valley Life, seventeen contributors reveal the major transformations to the natural and built environment that have shaped Sacramento and its suburbs, residents, politics, and economics throughout its history. The site that would become Sacramento was settled in 1839, when Johann Augustus Sutter attempted to convert his Mexican land grant into New Helvetia (or “New Switzerland”). It was at Sutter’s sawmill fifty miles to the east that gold was first discovered, leading to the California Gold Rush of 1849. Nearly overnight, Sacramento became a boomtown, and cityhood followed in 1850. Ideally situated at the confluence of the American and Sacramento Rivers, the city was connected by waterway to San Francisco and the surrounding region. Combined with the area’s warm and sunny climate, the rivers provided the necessary water supply for agriculture to flourish. The devastation wrought by floods and cholera, however, took a huge toll on early populations and led to the construction of an extensive levee system that raised the downtown street level to combat flooding. Great fortune came when local entrepreneurs built the Central Pacific Railroad, and in 1869 it connected with the Union Pacific Railroad to form the first transcontinental passage. Sacramento soon became an industrial hub and major food-processing center. By 1879, it was named the state capital and seat of government. In the twentieth century, the Sacramento area benefitted from the federal government’s major investment in the construction and operation of three military bases and other regional public works projects. Rapid suburbanization followed along with the building of highways, bridges, schools, parks, hydroelectric dams, and the Rancho Seco nuclear power plant, which activists would later shut down. Today, several tribal gaming resorts attract patrons to the area, while “Old Sacramento” revitalizes the original downtown as it celebrates Sacramento’s pioneering past. This environmental history of Sacramento provides a compelling case study of urban and suburban development in California and the American West. As the contributors show, Sacramento has seen its landscape both ravaged and reborn. As blighted areas, rail yards, and riverfronts have been reclaimed, and parks and green spaces created and expanded, Sacramento’s identity continues to evolve. As it moves beyond its Gold Rush, Transcontinental Railroad, and government-town heritage, Sacramento remains a city and region deeply rooted in its natural environment.
