In our research the past few weeks, poring over the century-old editions of our Vallejo newspapers, we have gleaned some amusing stories.

Vacaville, Fairfield, Suisun - People County / Rico, John [902] [RICO-1981-902]
AND AWAY WE GROW- Years ago, in fact in 1910, when Vacaville residents traveled to San Francisco using old Highway 40, they needed to be alert in passing through Fairfield else they would have missed the few buildings there marking that hamlet. The population of Fairfield in 1910 was 834, and although Vacaville at that time was no booming metropolis, it claimed a population of 1177. Many Vacaville resident, seeking merchandise and services in those days gone by, would travel to nearby Suisun, which had more to offer than did Vacaville or Fairfield. But, look what's happened since those days.

The events leading up to the captive actions and the eventual release, have been printed many times, and shown equally as many times on television. But let's take a trip back into 1942 and briefly review the roll the American government took in holding hostage several thousand innocent Japanese, 333 of them being residents of Vacaville, which included old men in wheel chairs, women, children and babes in arms.

At old hotels, you slept with your boots on / Delaplane, Kristin [275] [ECHOS-1996-275]
Third in a series Suisun City's major hotel was the landmark Roberts House located on the square. It burned down, but it was rebuilt in a most lavish manner.
