Discover the Yuba–Sutter area

Marysville and Yuba City anchor the Yuba–Sutter region at the confluence of the Yuba and Feather rivers, just southwest of Beale AFB. Marysville grew up as a Gold Rush river port in 1850 — named for Mary Murphy Covillaud, a survivor of the Donner Party — and once shipped miners and supplies into the northern goldfields. Today the area is one of Northern California's agricultural heartlands, known for peaches, prunes, walnuts, and rice, with the Sutter Buttes — often called the world's smallest mountain range — rising from the valley floor just west of town.
