A new city in search of sewers
/
Dingler, Nancy
[504]
[RETROSPECT-2004-504]
FAIRFIELD'It all came down to sewers. When members of the Fairfield Improvement Club gathered in the proverbial smoke-filled room to talk about installing a new sewer system and other improvements the night of Aug. 18, 1903, they kicked off a process that ended with the creation of a city almost 100,000 people now call home.

In 1892, an article appearing in the Vallejo Weekly Chronicle gave a rather graphic account of the conditions of Solano's first County Hospital. Built in the mid 1870s, it was then located near where Tabor Park is today in Fairfield. The property occupied by the "poorhouse," as it was commonly called, consisted of 60 acres in that area with wind breaks of eucalyptus trees.

[WAYITWAS-2005-572]
When we last left the Vennings, Ray's arm was in a cast from a car accident. Even though the arm had been improperly set by the doctor and followed by operations to correct the problem, he remained in on everything that was happening at the Fairfield Waterworks. He was dedicated and uncomplaining.

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.
