The City of Sutter Creek is a general law city.

History:
Most historians agree that Sutter Creek was named for John A. Sutter, the owner of the sawmill in Coloma where gold was discovered. Sutter first came to the region in 1846, and was the first European to try his luck mining in the area in 1848. There was little activity in the former mining camp until quartz lodes were discovered in 1851.

The town began to boom when Alvinza Hayward was daring enough to risk the capital it took for hardrock mining. Sutter Creek achieved its permanency as the supply center for the mines that ringed the town.

At the foot of the sweeping curve of Highway 49 just south of town stood the Old Eureka Mine, once owned by Hetty Green (a peculiar old woman known as the ", Wizard of Wall Street.", ) By the late 1850's, Leland Stanford, later the governor of California and the founder of Stanford University, picked up a stake in the Union Mine (later renamed the Lincoln Mine) to the north of town.

Statistics And , Demographics:
Sutter Creek has a current population of approximately 2300 people
