A Rich Tapestry of History

Vallejo boasts a fascinating history that dates back to its founding in 1851. Named after General Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo, a key figure in California's early history, the city played a pivotal role during the Gold Rush era and beyond. Its strategic location along the shores of the Carquinez Strait made it a bustling hub for trade and commerce, attracting settlers from far and wide.

Today, traces of Vallejo's storied past can be found throughout the city, from its historic downtown district to its beautifully preserved Victorian homes. Residents and visitors alike can explore landmarks such as the Vallejo Naval and Historical Museum, which offers insights into the city's maritime heritage, or Mare Island Naval Shipyard, a former naval base turned national historic landmark.

First and foremost, the city offers a convenient and affordable alternative to neighboring Bay Area communities.

Beyond its affordability, Vallejo boasts a thriving arts and culture scene, with numerous galleries, theaters, and music venues to explore.
