Sutter County, Agricultural county in Northern California, US
Sutter County is an agricultural county in Northern California that extends along the Sacramento River through fertile farmlands. The Sutter Buttes mountain range creates a distinct natural boundary on its southwestern edge.
This county was established in 1850 and named after John Sutter, a Swiss pioneer who founded agricultural settlements in the region. His work during the Gold Rush period left a lasting mark on the area's development.
The Chinese Heritage Museum displays artifacts and documents showing how Chinese immigrants shaped local development and community life. Visitors can see belongings and records that tell stories of these early settlers and their lasting impact on the region.
State Routes 99 and 20 provide the main access and link to parks, farmers markets, and outdoor areas throughout the county. Plan time to explore both its rural character and seasonal activities at your own pace.
This area leads California in rice production, with extensive paddies that seasonally transform into wetlands attracting thousands of migratory birds. This yearly shift creates a remarkable natural spectacle for those who happen to visit at the right time.
