Vacaville: Museums, Exhibitions & Discounts

Vacaville is a city located in northern Solano County, California, between San Francisco and Sacramento. Founded in 1851, the city's name originates from the Spanish word "vaca" (cow), referring to its history as part of Manuel Vaca's early Spanish land grant.

Initially an agricultural community, Vacaville has evolved into a blend of suburban living and small-town charm while maintaining its agricultural roots through its fruit industry. The city features a historic downtown district that reflects its cultural heritage, with various historic buildings and landmarks. Its location in the fertile valley area has influenced both its development and cultural identity, making it an interesting stop between California's capital and the Bay Area.
