Sacramento's first County Courthouse, formerly located on this site, served as California's State Capitol from January 16, 1852 to May 4, 1852 for the third session of the legislature and from March 1, 1854 to May 15, 1854 for the fifth session. Destroyed by fire on July 13, 1854, it was rebuilt in less than six months. The second courthouse served as the capitol from 1855-1869 when a transition began to the current statehouse. A third courthouse occupied this site and remained until replaced by the county jail in 1989.
