Bird's Landing finds strength as retail center / Delaplane, Kristin [239] [ECHOS-1995-239]
Information for this article came from the Vacaville Heritage Council, Vacaville Museum, and Solano County Genealogical Society. Second of two parts Last week we looked at the beginnings of Collinsville, founded by the notorious Hastings as a new frontier for a group of Mormons.

In two years the scam unraveled and the town was sold to Emory Irving Upham.
