Sacramento Valley Development Association

The Sacramento Valley Development Association was a quasi-public entity of colony land developers founded in 1900 to advance the area's political and commercial interests as well as market its agricultural products.[1] The organization, headquartered in Sacramento, was founded by 6 counties (Sacramento, Colusa, Yuba, Yolo, Sutter and Glenn)[2] but came to comprise representatives from 6 more (Solano, Butte, Shasta, Placer, El Dorado and Tehama), each selected by their respective county supervisor.[3] It remained operational and influential until 1925 when the Sacramento Valley Regional Advisory for the larger California Development Association filled the void.[4]
