"Little Norway" History Told
/
Wichels, Ernest
[804]
[WICHELS-1964-804]
Our interesting county has had many pioneer settlements which, in the main, have disappeared with the march of time. Some, like Tremont, Batavia, Maine Prairie, Silveyville are memories. Others, like Collinsville, Denverton, Elmira, Birds Landing-and even Cordelia, are only a shadow of their former size and influence.

Delaplane, Kristin
[239]
[ECHOS-1995-239]
Information for this article came from the Vacaville Heritage Council, Vacaville Museum, and Solano County Genealogical Society. Second of two parts Last week we looked at the beginnings of Collinsville, founded by the notorious Hastings as a new frontier for a group of Mormons. The Mormons never arrived, but a settlement of farmers and fisherman was established. The land changed hands and was the product of a huge land scam. In two years the scam unraveled and the town was sold to Emory Irving Upham.

Vallejo detained in revolt 150 years ago

Delaplane, Kristin
[290]
[ECHOS-1996-290]
By the 1840s, the Mexican hold on California was weakening. There were less than 10,000 Mexicans living in California, and they were not a particularly powerful group, as they were scattered throughout the area in small towns and settlements. Many Californians, including Mexican nationals, were unhappy with Mexico's rule, which was very slack and provided the settlements with little support. Thus, the Union, the United States, was in a good position to win support and take over.

California's settlement did not happen by accident, it took men of vision, courage and tireless energy. Among them were the earliest settlers of this State, the Californios.
