A Century and a Half of Solano County Life - Timeline
Bowen, Jerry
1999
Abstract: In 1849, the California Constitutional Convention was held, establishing 27 counties including Solano County with Benicia being chosen as the County Seat. The first ferry service from Benicia to Martinez was started in 1849. In the next 150 years Solano County grew, was often devastated and recovered from the many episodes that reflect life at its fullest. Much has been written about the history of our county and the following is just a sample of events that made Solano County what it is today. The list reflects both significant and insignificant incidents and is by no means meant to be a complete roster.
