Dingler, Nancy
[767]
[RETROSPECT-2007-767]
Carole Noske and Brian Irwin of the Vacaville Heritage Council recently had their book, "Vacaville: Then and Now," published. The Vacaville Heritage Council has, for years, earnestly collected photos and artifacts from all over Solano County. The new book is a fascinating glimpse into what Vacaville looked like in the 1800s and what is looks like today.

[239]
[ECHOS-1995-239]
Information for this article came from the Vacaville Heritage Council, Vacaville Museum, and Solano County Genealogical Society.

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.

/
Bowen, Jerry
[827]
