The hotel board chose The General Sutter Hotel as the new inn name, rejecting Colonial Manor and Zinzendorf Inn for being overused or misaligned with local history. John Augustus Sutter, born February 15 1803, helped settle the Sacramento area after moving with six men in 1838 and received a 100000 acre grant from Mexico. Gold rush displacement followed in 1848 due to Congressional indifference.
