Location

Fairfield is located in Northern California, in an area commonly referred to as the San Francisco Bay Area. It is situated in the center of Solano County. It is located approximately 45 minutes, or 40 miles, between two major cities in Northern California, San Francisco and Sacramento. The city is located within the California Coastal Ranges. It is located directly north of the Suisun Bay and northeast of the San Pablo Bay. A considerable portion of Suisun Bay contains the Suisun Marsh which is the largest saltwater marsh on the west coast of the United States.

History

Fairfield was founded in 1859 by clipper ship captain Robert H. Waterman, and named after his former hometown of Fairfield, Connecticut. Waterman not only parceled out the town in 1856, but also, in a commercially clever move, entered Fairfield in the race for Solano County seat in 1858, and won it from Benicia, CA. As an incentive for this, he granted 16 acres of land to be used solely for the construction of county buildings. In 1903, Fairfield was decisively incorporated as a city. As such, the city celebrated its centennial in December of 2003.
