	John Sutter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sutter wanted to settle in California, but the only vessel riding at anchor in the harbour was the brig Clementine — Sutter managed to be signed as unpaid supercargo of this brig freighted with a cargo of provisions and general merchandise for the Russian colony of New Archangel, now known as Sitka, Alaska.
		Sutter employed variously Native Americans (of the Miwok and Maidu tribes), Kanakas and Europeans at his compound, which he called Fort Sutter; He envisioned creating an agricultural utopia, and for a time the settlement was in fact quite large and prosperous.
		Sutter at first supported the establishment of an independent California Republic but when Union troops briefly seized control of his fort, Sutter did not resist because he was outnumbered.

	Natural7
		A well-known outstanding geologic (and biological) feature of Sutter County is the Sutter Buttes, a system of mountains in the middle of the valley floor that were created by volcanic activity over a million-year-long period starting 2 _ million years ago (Hausback and Nilsen, 1991).
		Sutter and his contemporaries introduced the use of fire to clear valley and Butte areas to renew grazing and for agriculture.
		By 1930 the vast majority of Sutter County land was under cultivation, most of the ranches on the Buttes were abandoned, and the valleys of the Buttes were used only for grazing, as they are now, primarily by cattle.
