It’s a tale of two rivers. Where the blue-green American and the muddy Sacramento meet, gold-rush miners gathered. Birthplace of the Pony Express and the transcontinental railroad, California’s capital since 1854 – Sacramento has seen its share of history.
When Allstate first came to town in the 1930s, sternwheelers still made the overnight run to San Francisco and a “special double-deck ice cream soda” cost a dime at the drugstore. But before long the sleepy pace picked up. Today Sacramento is one of the fastest growing areas in the country – a high-tech haven, hub for government, business, agriculture and recreation.
Allstate has grown right along with the city. By investing part of our $80 billion portfolio in the community, we’ve helped build schools and office buildings, parks and flood-control projects.
Of course, for many years we’ve also helped the people of Sacramento insure their cars, homes and lives. Lately we’ve been expanding too – broadening the products and services we offer, helping our customers invest in, and plan for, their futures.
The story of Sacramento and Allstate is special. But it’s not unique. In thousands of cities and towns, for millions of Americans, Allstate stands for strength, stability, security. Down through the decades, we’ve been there – caring for customers, building better communities, making a difference wherever we live and work.
And when the sun comes up tomorrow, we’ll be there still.
