NAV About Dixon Banner

The first settlement in the Dixon area was founded in 1852 by Elijah S. Silvey, whose search for gold landed him in these parts during the California gold rush. Silvey realized an easier way to make his fortune than digging and panning was to open an inn and saloon. This half-way house was located along a well-traveled stagecoach route to the gold fields of Sacramento, which became famous among area miners. By 1865, the community of Silveyville boasted a general store, post office, blacksmith, and had a population of 150 people.

Town Moves to Railroad tracks

The Vaca Valley Railroad was about to inaugurate its new line in Solano County in 1870. However, the residents of Silveyville were not happy when they found out that the tracks would not cross into their town.

The tracks did cross the land of Thomas Dickson. In order to grow, the residents of Silveyville would have to move closer to the tracks. With Dickson in charge of the relocation, pioneers started what is now known as the Downtown Dixon area.

Peter Timm, a cabinetmaker who had recently arrived from Schleswig-Holstein, Denmark, moved the buildings on large flat cars with wooden rollers, like telephone poles, to the railroad tracks. Peter Timm was the great-grandfather of Dr. Peter Timm, who serves today as a local Dixon veterinarian. One of the first buildings that still stands in Dixon from the 1871 move is the Dixon Methodist Church located at 209 North Jefferson Street Dixon, CA 95620

Dixon Was to Be Dicksonville

The California Pacific Railroad tracks were almost finished and a train station was needed. At this time Dickson donated 10 acres of his land for the depot and a city to be named after himself - Dicksonville. The first rail shipment of merchandise arrived in 1872 mistakenly addressed to "Dixon" and that spelling stuck. In 1874, after nearly a 2-year push to have the town named Dicksonville, needless to say, the county recorder filed with the name Dixon on the new maps, stating it was simpler.

WHO YOU WORK WITH MATTERS

Yen Drumheller Collage Profile

Peace—that was the other name for home.

I’ve had the good fortune to sell homes throughout the Solano and Napa area, each one being an opportunity to connect with individual communities. It is this connection with the communities in which I work that has led me to be so passionate about real estate.

If you live here already, you know how blessed we are. If you’re considering living or investing here, you’ve probably experienced some of the area’s extraordinary possibilities: country settings and small-town communities; enthralling agricultural beauty, and true farm to fork lifestyle, If Solano and Napa Counties are your real estate destination, you’ve arrived at the right spot.

Raving Fans...

If you seek a Realtor who will actually work to ensure that you are neither forgotten or take advantage of, then do yourself a favor and choose Yen. Her personal commitment to client's needs and concerns are admirable. Her networking skills, attention to detail, and determination ensure results. Yen’s knowledge of the Solano housing market is top notch and negotiating tact is stellar. I can hardly imagine the buying process proceeding without Yen.

Consulted me on buying and selling a home

Yen was absolutely AMAZING to deal with! She was so patient with me, taking me to see everything I asked to see. She listened to me when I expressed what I was looking for and sent me listings to match my needs and budget. She did a stellar job of communicating with the Seller's agent, and created a collaborative relationship that allowed her to work through the bumps that occurred along the way. She was an incredible ADVOCATE -- she FOUGHT for me when my lender was engaging in shenanigans to slow down the process, and did everything to ensure that we closed escrow on time! She managed every aspect of obtaining all the inspections we needed, and helped ensure that every concern I had was properly addressed. Yen she stuck by my side and sat through the entire document signing process... and THEN came to my new home after purchase to help me figure out how things in the home worked (that collaborative connection she made with Seller's agent really came in handy). She is pleasant, friendly, kind and understanding, and those qualities really helped me work through my anxieties about purchasing a home. If you need a Realtor... YOU NEED YEN!
