A single camellia bloom with glossy leaves on an iron fence rail, the capitol dome faint behind. Sacramento was growing camellias before it was the capital.

The first camellias came up the river in 1852, and they liked the valley so much the city took the title Camellia City of the World in the 1920s. The Camellia Show has bloomed every spring for more than a century, and Capitol Park alone holds more than 800 varieties. A camellia in bloom in February is a sure sign the winter is nearly over.

The bushes are still there, and so is the name.

A flower that blooms in winter is a natural ornament. The red bloom is the one touch of color, and it is the town's own.

Sacramento is the Camellia City: the camellia flower blooms in Capitol Park Sacramento every February, and the Camellia Show has run for more than a century. This camellia ornament is a flower ornament and Sacramento Christmas ornament, a Sacramento camellia gift and piece of Sacramento history for the tree.

Every Sacramento ornament ships ready to give. Hang it on the tree, in a window, off a lamp, or send one to the person who misses Sacramento most.

3-inch faceted crystal glass ornament, white-backed print, line-drawn in 1880s engraving style, your choice of white or gold gift box.

The Pony Express made Sacramento famous for eighteen months. The relay reached its western end at the J Street terminus and the B.F. Hastings Building, and a tired rider clattering in off the plains was the closest thing the 1860 West had to instant news. On October 24, 1861, the transcontinental telegraph line was joined, and two days later the Pony Express folded — wire could now carry a message coast to coast in minutes. Frontier ambition outpaced by faster technology: the pattern that would run through the whole of Sacramento's story.

Sacramento is the End of the Line and the start of the next one — the Gold Rush's supply town, the Pony Express finish, the place the transcontinental railroad began, California's capital under a canopy of trees at the meeting of two rivers. Our Sacramento designs gather that into wearable form. Wear the Gold Rush capital. Wear the City of Trees. City of Trees. Capital since 1854.

Why People Visit Sacramento

Sacramento rewards travelers who want history, rivers, and shade rather than a beach — the Gold-Rush waterfront, the railroad that started here, the capitol, and a walkable grid under a famous tree canopy. People come for Old Sacramento and the Railroad Museum, for the Capitol and the gold bridge, and for an easy California day where frontier history and a leafy capital city sit side by side at the meeting of two rivers.
