About us

California's Golden Dream is thriving in one of its newest cities. Incorporated in 1987, West Sacramento is a city designed and ready for business in the 80's. Yet its history dates back more than 100 years. Like its cross-river neighbor, West Sacramento was first settled during the Gold Rush era. The early settlers soon learned that the real gold in the area was the incredibly rich delta soil deposited over the centuries by the Sacramento and the American Rivers. By the turn of the century the central valley of California was recognized as one of the premiere agricultural areas of the world. As Sacramento grew into a major city, West Sacramento, which was separated by the Sacramento River and a county line, retained its small town character and industrial base. Today, West Sacramento is at the crossroads of California. Featuring its own deepwater port, two interstate highways, major North/South and East/West rail lines and a commercial airport nearby, West Sacramento is well connected to the Pacific Rim and the rest of the nation. And just a literal stone's throw away is downtown Sacramento, the seat of the government for the 6th largest economy in the world. Being a part of the Greater Sacramento community, we're on everyone's list as one of the fastest growing and most livable areas in the country. Yet West Sacramento offers something that can no longer be found in many of California's cities - affordable land and housing. The average home cost is less than half of what a comparable home costs in metropolitan areas as little as 80 miles away. There is a small town atmosphere in West Sacramento, with traditional values and a healthy respect for business and industry. Come to West Sacramento. Meet the people. See the land. You'll agree the climate is right for you!

  • We are saddened to share the news that longtime West Sacramento City Manager Joe Goeden passed away over the weekend at his West Sacramento home. He was 75. Mr. Goeden served as City Manager from 1989 to 2002 and is credited with guiding the City through the early stages of growth following incorporation. Mr. Goeden played a key role in many city milestones, including development of the Civic Center complex on West Capitol Avenue, and construction of City Hall and the Community Center. He also helped secure the relocation of the River Cats to West Sacramento and construction of Raley Field. Goeden is remembered as a soft spoken, attentive, and intelligent leader who constantly challenged staff to push towards making West Sacramento a regional leader in good governance and the community's quality of life. Private services are pending.
