Legends, myths a part of Rockville / Bowen, Jerry [146] [WAYITWAS-2002-146]
What is known today as Rockville Corners was once a thriving little village in the mid-1850s. Before that, it was a major encampment and settlement of the Suisun Indians before they were almost completely wiped out by smallpox from 1837 to 1839.

Indians, grizzlies succumb to newcomers / Delaplane, Kristin [256] [ECHOS-1995-256]
Information for this article came from the Solano Genealogy Society and the Yolo County Library. In early days, Putah Creek passed just south of what is now the city of Davis.

Rockville grew into crossroads for early routes / Delaplane, Kristin [242] [ECHOS-1995-242]
Information for this article came from the Vacaville Historical Society, Solano Genealogical Society and Fairfield Public Library. The village of Rockville in the Green Valley Township was located in the general vicinity where the Susuine Indians had previously located their head tribal village. The Indians called this place Yul Yul, meaning the place of the setting sun. When the white man's disease, smallpox, hit in 1839, the tribe numbers were vastly depleted and the few surviving Suisunees left the area, many choosing the safety of the missions in Sonoma and San Jose. In later years Chief Solano returned to this sacred place, where he died and was buried.

Part 2-Spanish Troops Marched In / Bowen, Jerry [673] [WAYITWAS-2006-673]
When I ended my last column I said, "Second-Lieutenant Gabriel Moraga with seventeen soldiers and an auxiliary force of Christian Indians of unknown size attacked the Suisun force of 120 fighting men on May 22, 1810 near Rockville." Here again is a misconception of history perhaps read out of context. It wasn't at Rockville. It was at or near today's Suisun City.

Tragic demise of "People of the West Wind" / Delaplane, Kristin [222] [ECHOS-1995-222]
Stone Age people were the first inhabitants of Solano County. This is known through artifacts found in Green Valley some years ago and dated by archaeologists to 2000 B.C. The next residents that we know of were the Patwin Indians. These people were the southern branch of the Wintun group and they lived in the region for a thousand years or more; some figures are as high as 4,000 years.
