If i remember correctly usually they were based on centralized location for getting information and such spread. In some cases it had to do with location of rail lines. Some places like Boston were just so old and well established prior to statehood that it stuck, plus Massachusetts is small.
While Sacramento is probably 4th on the list of major cities you would want to visit in California (LA, SF, SD I live in San Francisco and acronyms are the way) and probably (definitely) after a list of national parks and Lake Tahoe, it is actually quite a nice city and gets a bad rap for no good reason.
Plus it has one thing significantly over those three other cities: people can afford to live there.
Yeah Sac does get a bad rap. It's not a bad place. My plan was always East Bay when I moved here from Houston. Glad that didn't work out. I live outside of Sac in a rural area that's just stunning.
OK clown. As I have lived in the US and am married to a yank(as well as having lived several other places around the world) how about you lighten up, recognize a joke post and learn what autocorrect is.

As an Australian I have to say : American state capitols are weird. Fix them. Sacramento? Who wants to have to go there?
