[WAYITWAS-2000-43]
Are the people in New Orleans, St. Louis, Chicago, New York, Boston and elsewhere, who have paid a dollar a pound for California cherries in April, or who in 1887 ate nearly 2,000 carloads of California peaches, pears, plums, apricots and grapes, curious to know whence a good part of these fruits come, or to learn the manner of their growth and the appearance of the country?

Solano County was originally made up of six Spanish/Mexican land grants, all acquired by General Mariano Vallejo.

One of those families were the Armijos, who arrived in the Suisun Valley around 1842.

Silkworms, name 'Davisville' meet their fate
/
Delaplane, Kristin
[259]
[ECHOS-1995-259]
Information for this article came from the Solano Genealogy Society and the Yolo County Library. Fourth in a series. A school was somewhat established in Davisville's first year when the children attended classes in a small building. As there were more students than would fit in this structure, the students took turns learning their lessons; thus, half the students would be standing outside. In bad weather, they all huddled in the close quarters of the one room. Shortly, a larger room was made available and was in use until 1870.
