Cortez Hacienda near Sacramento, California.
Sacramento is a city in the Mexican state of California. Its exact location is uncertain, since it was founded after the Mexican War of Independence of 1799-1805, but it is likely to be in or near the San Francisco Bay area.
Diego Cortez y Catalán, the President of Kramer Associates, owned a hacienda outside of Sacramento, and on 1 August 1901 he held a secret meeting there of various opponents of Benito Hermión, who had proclaimed himself Emperor of Mexico four months earlier. There, Cortez explained a plan he had formulated to force Hermión to flee Mexico. The group agreed to cooperate with Cortez's plan to depose Hermión and restore republican rule to Mexico. Cortez successfully carried out his plan on the night of 15 October 1901.
IOW there is a city called Sacramento 90 miles northeast of San Francisco at the confluence of the Sacramento and American Rivers. However, the river it is named after was not given its name until 1808, thirty-one years after the point of divergence, so it is unlikely that Sobel's Sacramento is the same city.
