On September 22, 1947, Sacramento State College, now known as California State University, Sacramento, was founded. The original location was not where the university is today, however. Sacramento State College was originally housed on the grounds of Sacramento City College in Land Park before a separate location was constructed. Sacramento State College opened at 6000 J Street in 1953 with approximately 2,400 students. With much of our staff being current students or alumni, happy 78th birthday sacstate from all of us at the Sacramento History Museum!
