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.

Fires and family life at the Water Works
/
Bowen, Jerry
[567]
[WAYITWAS-2005-567]
Some of the most interesting local history comes from the people who lived it. Last year, during the Solano County Historical Society's Pioneer Days Celebration, I was very fortunate to meet Betty Davis who lives in Fairfield. While we were talking, she asked me if I would be interested in a family history that was written by her mother, Edith Lucille Venning.

Dingler, Nancy

Meet Cleo Gordon Elementary school's namesake
/
Dingler, Nancy
[463]
[RETROSPECT-2000-463]
Have you ever wondered how local places, like streets and schools get their names? For example, it is obvious that Fairfield High is named after the town, but did you know that Armijo High was named after the family that had the large Spanish land grant it sits on? Historically, people want to honor prominent, successful people by naming places for them.

Solano has seen many changes
/
Dingler, Nancy
[492]
[RETROSPECT-2004-492]
The 1850s brought a major change to Suisun and the surrounding area that would alter the landscape forever. Ship captain, Josiah Wing purchased the "island" of Suisun from Curtis Wilson and Dr. John Baker in 1852, built a wharf and a warehouse, then had his house in San Francisco shipped up the slough and his family sent for. In partnership with John Owens, Captain Wing laid out the town of Suisun. They soon discovered that at low tide, Suisun was not an island, but connected to Fairfield by a strip of land, eventually named Union Ave.

Hardship, happiness accompanied family
/
Bowen, Jerry
[572]
[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.
