Originally a settlement called South Butte, established in the vicinity of the stage station at Butte House east of the current town.  It had a post office from August 7, 1871, until December 17, 1878, and from February 18, 1879, to January 20, 1888, when it was moved to the new Sutter City Post Office nearby.  The Sutter Cemetery originally South Butte Cemetery, lay to the west on the stage road, and beside it was the school house, that was dismissed when there was a funeral.<ref>Nancy Capace, Encyclopedia of California, Somerset Publishers, Incorporated, North American Book Dist.

Sutter City was the result of an attempt to take advantage of the boom in California in the late 1880s.  The town was located south of the Cemetery along the path of a railroad line projected to pass through the town and it hoped to become the new county seat, because it was near the geographical center of the county.  However the rail line was never built and it never became the county seat.<ref>[https://archive.org/details/memorialbiograph00lewi A Memorial and Biographical History of Northern California: Containing a History of this Important Section of the Pacific Coast from the Earliest Period of Its Occupancy to the Present Time, Lewis Publishing Company, Chicago, 1891, p. 266.]</ref>

It is part of the Yuba City Metropolitan Statistical Area within the Greater Sacramento CSA. The population as of the 2020 census was 2,997, up from 2,904 at the 2010 census.

History

Originally a settlement called South Butte, established in the vicinity of the stage station at Butte House east of the current town. It had a post office from August 7, 1871, until December 17, 1878, and from February 18, 1879, to January 20, 1888, when it was moved to the new Sutter City Post Office nearby. The Sutter Cemetery (originally South Butte Cemetery) lay to the west on the stage road (in former times used mostly by stagecoaches), and beside it was the school house, that had its classes dismissed when there was a funeral.[1]

Sutter City was the result of an attempt to take advantage of the boom in California in the late 1880s. The town was located south of the Cemetery along the path of a railroad line projected to pass through the town and it hoped to become the new county seat, because it was near the geographical center of the county. However the rail line was never built and it never became the county seat.[2]

The Sutter City post office name was changed to Sutter on January 26, 1895.[3]
