Captain steered profitable course / Bowen, Jerry [713] [WAYITWAS-2007-713]

Rossi family steered Dixon for seven decades / Delaplane, Kristin [431] [ECHOS-1999-431]
On almost every corner of every busy street it seems there is a gas station. But that wasn't the case in the early years of this century, when "horseless carriages" began clattering over roadways. In fact, when Emil Rossi arrived in Dixon, he probably couldn't see a station at all.

The three Josiah Wings: shipping merchant, pioneer, mayor / Dingler, Nancy [485] [RETROSPECT-2003-485]

Solano has seen many changes / Dingler, Nancy [492] [RETROSPECT-2004-492]
The 1850s brought a major change to Suisun and the surrounding area that would alter the landscape forever. Ship captain, Josiah Wing purchased the "island" of Suisun from Curtis Wilson and Dr. John Baker in 1852, built a wharf and a warehouse, then had his house in San Francisco shipped up the slough and his family sent for. In partnership with John Owens, Captain Wing laid out the town of Suisun. They soon discovered that at low tide, Suisun was not an island, but connected to Fairfield by a strip of land, eventually named Union Ave.
