Vallejo, California Real Estate, Land, History and General Information

The story of Vallejo begins in 1844 when General Mariano G. Vallejo saw the promise of the area as an important shipping and naval center. Vallejo has twice been the state capitol in the 1850s; Established in 1854, Mare Island Naval Shipyard was the West Coast's first shipyard. Legend has it that Mare Island got its name after Gen. Vallejo drove a herd of horses across the Carquinez Strait.

Closed in 1996, Mare Island now stands poised to become an industrial, commercial and residential centerpiece for the city as the new millennium gets underway.

A strong economy and affordable housing has meant new prosperity for Vallejo, as new businesses and new residents come to the city. Some are attracted by the beautifully restored Victorian homes and business fronts; others by the newer homes in the Northgate and Hiddenbrooke developments.

Vallejo recently earned Main Street designation, and as a result the downtown area will receive a host of benefits ranging from on-site training in effective commercial district revitalization, technical assistance, consulting services, networking activities, and site assessments from California Main Street. These benefits will help with revitalization efforts. Waterfront and Mare Island redevelopment have become a community effort, with input from residents helping shape the future of what is becoming a key economic generator of the City of Vallejo.

Vallejo’s Ferry Terminal and ferry service have served as a model for the rest of the Bay Area, helping make it a transportation and commuter hub for the North Bay. Six Flags Marine World, restaurants and the Downtown Farmer's Market help make Vallejo the vibrant community it is today.
