HISTORY

THE RICH HISTORY -
VALLEJO & MARE ISLAND

Vallejo, California is the first permanent home of California’s state government and is the 171 home of the first and most famous naval ship building and repair facility on the west coast. A city whose rich history is intertwined deeply to both the state in which it was born and to the country it served through the Civil War, two World Wars and the Cold War.

In 1850, after California had been admitted to the Union as the 31st state, Mexican General Mariano Vallejo donated 156 acres of his land and promised the sum of $370,000 to create his dream of a thriving new state capital. Vallejo wished the site to be called Eureka, but his fellow citizens insisted upon naming the city in his honor. Thus Vallejo became the first permanent seat of California state government in 1852. The city’s glory was short-lived though as members of the legislature quickly became unhappy with the living and working conditions in the pioneer city. As a result, the capital moved to Sacramento just a few weeks later. But inconvenienced by floods there, the restless legislature moved back to Vallejo - and then later to Benicia - before returning to Sacramento, where the capital has remained ever since.

With the establishment of the Mare Island Naval Shipyard in 1854, Vallejo began to flourish. Mare Island grew into the largest ship construction and repair facility in the world during WWII. In the five war years, as the production rate at the shipyard increased, so too did the population of Vallejo, growing from 26,000 to nearly 100,000.

Mare Island had a tremendous impact on Vallejo and the surrounding areas for almost 150 years by employing much of the city’s population as it built and repaired ships. And although the shipyard is now officially closed, Mare Island’s future is extremely bright. Over time, a combination of reuses has brought Mare Island back to the center of Vallejo’s economic activity.

What is today known as the city’s multicultural diversity began much earlier in Vallejo than many other California cities. The Navy’s longtime presence at Mare Island has attracted people from all over the world to settle in Vallejo making the city one of the most culturally diverse in the United States.

Arts & Entertainment

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT –
A DOWNTOWN RENAISSANCE

Vallejo’s burgeoning downtown Arts & Entertainment District’s comprises numerous galleries and shops reflecting Vallejo’s diverse art and cultural communities. One of the most recent additions is the Temple Arts Lofts, housed in the former City Hall & Masonic Temple buildings. This live/work development is giving preference to working artists. And the centerpiece of Vallejo’s Arts & Entertainment District is the historic Empress Theatre. This recently restored venue hosts concerts, comedy, special events and the Vallejo Symphony. And Downtown Vallejo hosts a popular monthly event appropriately called the Second Friday Food & Art Walk www.vallejoartwalk.org.

The nearby Vallejo Heritage District and St. Vincent’s Hill Historic District showcase Vallejo’s rich and varied architectural history. Most of these homes were built between 1850 and 1890 and show elegant style of what has become known as the “Working Man’s Victorian.”

And the arts renaissance has spread to Mare Island where an 8,000 square foot building houses 19 artists under the new name Mare Island Studios (formerly the Coal Shed Studios).

FOOD & WINE

A WINE LOVER’S DELIGHT

One of the biggest draws for Vallejo visitors is our neighboring Napa Valley Wine Country, just minutes away. Often times the hardest decision our visitors have to make is, “Where do we start?” Please allow us to offer some ideas.

If you’d like to make your first impression of Wine Country one for the ages, we recommend starting off with a trip to Calistoga to sample some historic varietals at Castello di Amorosa, complemented by the atmosphere of an authentic medieval castle. From here is a short drive to V. Sattui Winery in St. Helena to sample 125 years of complexity and richness that is sensed in every glass. Also, near by is Whitehall Lane Winery, a local family-owned and operated winery dedicated to making premium world-class wines. The Larson Family Winery is located in the heart of the Carneros region, on land that has been in their family for almost 120 years.

The true nature of Napa Valley could hardly be captured in a day, but do keep in mind that Vallejo is very close to another certified area viticulturally known as Suisun Valley. Within 30 minutes you’ll find yourself at Vezér Family Vineyard. Try some of their Petite Sarah or Zinfandel and decide for yourself whether to further explore all that the Suisun Valley Appellation has to offer.

For those who take wine “tasting” seriously, some may want to consider professional transportation. There are a number of reliable resources designed with your Wine Country needs in mind during your stay in Vallejo. As You Like It! Wine Country Tours offers just that, a luxury tour in a private charter or small group within a chauffeured Lincoln Navigator.

Vallejo can meet your Wine Country needs, whatever they may be. With an ideal location and transportation options galore, be sure to make Vallejo the first stop on your viticulture voyage.

The mission of the Vallejo/Solano County Film Office is to generate economic activity for Vallejo and Solano County by attracting film production of all types. The Film Office is located at the Visit Vallejo Business Offices and is a self-funded, non-profit organization that derives its funding solely from contributions and fundraisers.

FILM OFFICE

The Vallejo/Solano County Film Office is dedicated to the following free services:

• Assisting film companies with scouting and offering expert advice on locations.

• Acting as a community liaison to ensure a smooth filming process.

• Understanding and assisting with the workings of local governments and local permit requirements.

• Facilitating efficient film production by acting as the central point of coordination with local agencies and by helping to cut through government “red tape” when necessary.

• Ensuring that film companies have a successful and efficient experience in Solano County before, during and after production.
