John Augustus Sutter (February 15, 1803 - June 18, 1880) was a Swiss pioneer of California known for his association with the Gold Rush in California by the discovery of gold by James W. Marshall and the team to the mill at Sutter's Mill, and for establishing Sutter's Fort in Sacramento that would become the capital of the state. Although famous throughout California for his association with the gold rush, Sutter died almost poor, having seen their businesses fail, while those of his eldest son, John Augustus Sutter, Jr., flourished.
