Ranch Towns In Two Areas / Wichels, Ernest [854] [WICHELS-1964-854]
Most people think of Vallejo strictly a shipyard city. Many find it difficult to believe that once it qualified as a "ranch town." Ranchowners, the hundreds of employes in dairy operations, cattle and sheep raising, and grain and hay harvests, formed a vital segment of Vallejo's economy in early days.

Elmira a quiet town but for trains, gunfire / Delaplane, Kristin [345] [ECHOS-1997-345]
In 1883, Elmira was a relatively quiet place except when the trains came through. Therefore, citizens were more than a little alarmed to hear gunfire one day. It turned out that it was the result of the town's constable, McKinney, firing on an escaping prisoner Napa Jim. Whether or not Constable McKinney hit his target is unknown.

Light shone on town history via lamppost / Bowen, Jerry [157] [WAYITWAS-2003-157]
Whenever I walk around our historic downtown, I often try to imagine what it must have been like in the early days when the boundary of Vacaville ended at Parker Street. In fact, one day I was so absorbed in my thoughts that I walked smack-dab right into one of the old lampposts and bent my glasses up.
