Named one of the best places to vacation by Money Magazine,Sutter Creek offers "a healthy dose of nature at its most spectacular but is not a retreat from civilization -- that is, it offers a wide variety of attractions, from outdoor adventure to cultural events and even fine dining." Money Mag. April 2001.

The town takes its name from the creek and the creek takes its name from John A. Sutter who owned the sawmill in Coloma where gold was first found in the Mother Lode in January of 1848.

Sutter Creek achieved prominence as the supply center for all the mines that circled the town. It was hard rock mining more than placer mining that helped the town to boom.
