West Sacramento started in the 1890s when the wife of a farmer named bryte had to sell some of her ranch dairy when her husband was killed in a bar gun fight. Hotel El Rancho used to be very fancy and it started in the early 30s.

How old is West Sacramento ?? What was out there back in the 1920s-30s-40s? ?
Sandborn may not have mapped it because it was farmland /swamp......
San Francisco Public Library on Market street has a huge collection of Sandborn Maps.
A friend of mine and I used that collection to map out the old Western Pacific tracks on the SF Peninsula.? I don't know to what extent the SF Library Sandborn Maps cover.

Hello,
Has anyone ever seen Sanborn 1940-70¡¯s maps for West Sacramento along the SN? It¡¯s really strange. Every time I search it only shows Sacramento even if I search by Yolo county using multiple libraries.?
