History of Vallejo

Vallejo was founded in 1851 and originally named Eureka. It was renamed Vallejo in honor of General Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo, a Mexican military commander and member of the Californio nobility during the Mexican era in Alta California. He was instrumental in Mexico's ceding of California to the United States following the Mexican-American War.

The United States Navy established a base in Vallejo in the 1850s. Mare Island Naval Shipyard played a vital role in U.S. naval operations on the West Coast over the next hundred years, before closing in 1996. The historic downtown and waterfront areas still retain some of the original naval architecture from that era.
