The geography of the area has also played an important role in Vallejo's development and future. Located at the northern tip of San Pablo Bay, Vallejo's waterfront location has made it an important harbor not only for the military but also for commercial shipping, industry, oil companies and ferry transportation.
Vallejo, California is the first permanent home of California's state government and is the 142-year home of the first and most famous naval shipbuilding and repair facility on the west coast.
Prior to the 1830s, the countryside where the City of Vallejo now stands was inhabited by the Suisun and Karkin Indians. In 1835, a Mexican military officer, Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo, was sent to the northern California frontier where he established several land grants. One of these grants, the Rancho Suscol, included the area where the cities of Vallejo and Benicia are now located. Chief Solano, a leader of the Suisun Indians, allied himself with General Vallejo, an alliance which allowed the region to remain primarily inhabited by Native Americans until the 1840s.
"A city whose rich history is intertwined deeply to both the state in which it was born and to the country it served through two world wars."
After the legislature left Vallejo for good, the city became something of a ghost town for a brief period of time. But the United States Navy came to the rescue in 1853 with their purchase of Mare Island for the creation of the first naval installation on the west coast of the United States. Suddenly Vallejo's future once again became brighter.
The author of an 1863 book entitled The Resources of California described the budding city: "Vallejo has a magnificent site for a town. The present village is built on the slope of hills about a hundred or a hundred and fifty feet high, which rise from the harbor so gently, that a heavily laden wagon can be drawn over without an extra team. About a half a mile back from the landing lays a beautiful and very fertile plain several miles wide and extending from the lower part of the harbor. I have never seen a city provided with such a magnificent place for country residences as this."
Although the town is named after General Vallejo, the man regarded as the true founder of Vallejo is John B. Frisbie. After his daughter Epifania married Frisbie, General Vallejo granted him power of attorney for the land grant. It was Frisbie who hired E.H. Rowe, the man who designed the city layout and who named the east-west streets after states and the north-south streets after California counties.
Frisbie encouraged settlers to stay in the area and sold them lots to build houses and businesses upon. He helped establish the city's government, supported the thriving wheat-shipping business, presided over banks and founded the White Sulphur (Blue Rock) Springs Resort. It was also due in part to Frisbie's diligent lobbying in Washington D.C., that Vallejo was officially incorporated as a city in 1867.

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!
