Abstract: Information for this article came from the Vacaville Museum, Vacaville Heritage Council and Vacaville Public Library. Solano County was one of the original 27 counties organized when California became a state in 1850. Providing water transport by the Sacramento River and its many sloughs and with some of the richest farming land, it was an ideal place to establish town sites. The towns were settled by men from the gold fields and those who came to California as pioneers.
