Curtis Park

Curtis Park lies north of Sutterville Road, south of Broadway, east of Freeport Boulevard and west of Highway 99. It is largely residential, and the Sierra Curtis Neighborhood Association keeps its news. (Wikipedia)

The designer Ray Eames, born in Sacramento in 1912, grew up in the neighborhood. (Wikipedia) (Wikipedia)

Sutterville Road is named for Sutterville, a settlement John Sutter had laid out on the river. It declined once the new town grew up at his Embarcadero, and Sacramento took the trade. (Wikipedia)

Just to the south, on Freeport Boulevard, Sacramento City College was founded in 1916 as a department of Sacramento High School. It is the oldest institution of higher learning in the city. (Wikipedia)
