About Sutter County
Sutter County was one of the state's original counties at the time of statehood in 1850. In 1852 it was reduced in size, ceding some land to Placer County. The county is named for German immigrant John Augustus Sutter, who established a ranch in the area in 1841 and was one of the first people to recognize the Central Valley's potential for agriculture. Today nearly 90% of the county's land is used for farming and grazing. The county is home to the Sutter Buttes, a circular complex of eroded volcanic lava domes approximately ten miles in diameter that are sometimes referred to as the world's smallest mountain range. Bordered by the Sacramento River on the west and the Feather River on the east, Sutter County also has an extensive levee system.
