how many state capitals of California were there before Sacramento ( AI generated)

Always double- check  whatever answer is given to you by AI . I did not double check this: 

"Before Sacramento became the capital of California in 1854, there were four other cities that served as the state capital:
Monterey: The first capital of California, serving from 1774–1849. Monterey was also the political and religious capital of Mexican California from 1781–1846.
San Jose: The capital from 1849–1851.
Vallejo: The capital from 1852–1853.
Benicia: The capital from 1853–1854.
