Prehistoric camels roamed Potrero Hills
/
Delaplane, Kristin
[277]
[ECHOS-1996-277]
First in a series The low-range Potrero Hills start about three miles southeast of Fairfield and run some five miles or 10,000 acres. The maximum elevation is 400 feet above sea level.

/

[259]
[ECHOS-1995-259]

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.

Wolfskill family set tone for Solano's future
/
Delaplane, Kristin
[245]
[ECHOS-1995-245]
Information for this article came from the Vacaville Heritage Council and the Vacaville Museum. Wolfskill descendants can trace their story back to the 1740s Prussia and Frederick the Great's ongoing wars. Rather than fight in wars where the loss of life was incredibly high, in 1742, Joseph Wolfskeil moved to the wilderness of Pennsylvania to take his chances.

Bowen, Jerry
[657]
