West Coast Gazetteer &
Directory ~ Vallejo, California
Solano County an incorporated city containing, according
to the census of 1880, 6,500 inhabitants, is situated on
Vallejo Bay near its junction with the straits of
Carquinez, 24 miles north-eastward from San Francisco.
It
occupies an advantageous site for commercial purposes,
the water m the bay being of sufficient depth to allow
vessels of a large class to receive and discharge cargo
at its wharves. One of the principal supports of the
town is Mare Island Navy Yard, situated one-quarter of a
mile distant, where at times a large number of men are
employed, many of whom reside in Vallejo.
The
town is well laid out, with streets of good width
crossing each other at right angles, and contains many
substantial brick edifices. Two public schools are
maintained, having an attendance of about twelve hundred
pupils. There are six churches including two Baptist,
and an Episcopal, Methodist, Presbyterian, and Roman
Catholic. The societies represented are the Masons, Odd
Fellows, Chosen Friends, Good Templars, and Ancient
Order United Workmen. The Good Templars' Home, located
about two miles from the city, is a well-conducted and
praiseworthy institution. Although under the control of
the Grand Lodge of the Independent Order of Good
Templars, yet its doors are open to homeless orphans of
every class.
The
city is supplied with gas of good quality, and the
Vallejo City Water Co. furnish the inhabitants with an
abundant supply of water, brought from Lake Chabot,
three and a-half miles distant. Two well-conducted
journals, the Solano Times and Vallejo Chronicle, are
published daily and weekly. The fire department consists
of three engine companies, having one steam and two hand
engines, three hose companies, and one hook and ladder
company. The country surrounding Vallejo is a good
agricultural as well as grazing section, and farming,
wine and fruit growing, and dairying are extensively
carried on. Communication is maintained with San
Francisco by steamer and rail, twice a day and also with
Calistoga, Suisun, and other points, by the trains of
the California Pacific R. R.
