Vacaville: A Solano County Charmer

Historic Vacaville is nestled amongst rolling hills just an hour away from San Francisco. Located just west of Sacramento, the city, with its rich history, has evolved into one of Northern California’s most charming communities.

Incorporated in 1892, Vacaville traces its roots to the early days of pioneers. For more than 150 years it has held onto the traditions of its colorful past while embracing modern change. Once the fresh fruit capital of California, today Vacaville is a vibrant, growing community that is home to many of the world’s most successful life-science companies, including Genentech.

Vacaville, now with a population of over 96,800, is considered one of California’s most beautiful family communities. People who live here have access to wonderful restaurants, the great outdoors, wine country, terrific shopping, and a thriving arts scene.
