Rio Vista, California Real Estate, Land, History and General Information

La Vista del Rio - meaning "River View" - was adopted around 1859and named in 1860. Colonel N. H. Davis founded Rio Vista in 1857. Its original location was further upstream, but floods in the winter of 1861 forced a move to its present location. By 1862 rebuilding of the town had begun. The incorporation date of Rio Vista: 1893

Rio Vista quickly became a prosperous town providing services and agricultural supplies to travelers on one of the many Sacramento River steamships running between Sacramento and San Francisco. Although Goldrush fever was waning around the 1860's, miners, machinery and necessities still filled northbound steamships towards Sacramento. Although no gold was discovered in Rio Vista, the town provided one of the largest supplies of fresh fish and canned salmon to San Francisco and beyond.

The City of Rio Vista is one of the fastest growing cities in Solano County and the California Delta. Just 45miles NE of San Francisco and 35miles SW of Sacramento, Rio Vista is halfway between the cities of Fairfield and Lodi on SR-12.

Rio Vista is situated on the historic Sacramento River with a silhouette of the rolling Montezuma Hills to the south, the town and surrounding Sacramento Delta maintains a relaxed vacation-like atmosphere for everyone! The landmark Rio Vista Bridge is one of many drawbridges designed by Joseph Strauss, architect of the Golden Gate Bridge.
