West Sacramento has come a long way. Buried in the Sacramento cemetery, we have many of the movers and shakers of Yolo County, from town fathers to owners of gambling dens (not that the two were exclusive). Was it always called West Sac? How did people get across the river? Why was it incorporated? These questions and more will be discussed.
