In the 1890s, the Sacramento Electric Power and Light Company extended streetcar tracks eastward, thereby creating a suburban oasis that developers Charles Wright and Howard Kimbrough sold as just a 15 minute ride from downtown. Today’s East Sacramento boasts some of the more desirable real estate in and around California’s capital city, including McKinley Park and the Fabulous Forties, a collection of upscale homes from 40th to 49thStreets–where Ronald Reagan resided when he was governor. Also located in East Sacramento is the campus of California State University, Sacramento, where a young Tom Hanks got his start in The Cherry Orchard.
