Bowen, Jerry
[711]
[WAYITWAS-2007-711]
My interest in Solano County history began in the 1990s after I retired from Mare Island Naval Shipyard, and it grew by leaps and bounds when I met who I consider one of Vacaville's finest men ever to grace this community, Bert Hughes, at the Vacaville Heritage Council.

In 1868, Benicia's local industry was important to the economy. The Cement Works was turning out about 100 barrels a day and three kilns were kept going day and night. There were two tanneries in town. One of the tanneries employed as many as 14 men.

[351]
[ECHOS-1997-351]
It was likely in the 1870s that a sailing vessel passenger Edward A. Young arrived in the Eureka after sailing around the Horn from New Brunswick. By then, lumbering had replaced gold mining as the major income source in this coastal town and Young went to work in the lumbering business.

In the spring of 1857, a drove of 200 head of cattle passed through Solano County on its way to the mountains. It was noted that the cattle looked as if a bite or two of fresh spring grass would do them no harm. A few firms were going out of business. G [...]

[ECHOS-1995-248]
Information for this article came from the Vacaville Heritage Council, Vacaville Museum, Solano Historian, and Vacaville Public Library. The town of Cement came into being in 1902. It lasted a quarter of a century, then was totally abandoned in 1927. But it had a hell of a run, as they say.

Solano townships boomed, then went bust

Delaplane, Kristin
[235]
[ECHOS-1995-235]
Information for this article came from the Vacaville Museum, Vacaville Heritage Council and Vacaville Public Library. Solano County was one of the original 27 counties organized when California became a state in 1850. Providing water transport by the Sacramento River and its many sloughs and with some of the richest farming land, it was an ideal place to establish town sites. The towns were settled by men from the gold fields and those who came to California as pioneers.

Light shone on town history via lamppost

Bowen, Jerry
[157]
[WAYITWAS-2003-157]
Whenever I walk around our historic downtown, I often try to imagine what it must have been like in the early days when the boundary of Vacaville ended at Parker Street. In fact, one day I was so absorbed in my thoughts that I walked smack-dab right into one of the old lampposts and bent my glasses up.
