Vallejo

The landscape around Vallejo is defined by low coastal hills and the tidal Carquinez Strait, which has shaped both the city’s urban form and local economy. Set on the strait’s northern shore, Vallejo occupies the meeting ground of the Carquinez Strait and San Pablo Bay within the wider San Francisco Bay system. Mare Island, beside the city, was home to Mare Island Naval Shipyard, established in 1854 as the first U.S. Navy installation on the Pacific coast; the yard closed in 1996. Its industrial waterfront, ferry link to San Francisco, and evolving Mare Island district connect Vallejo’s working past with the Bay Area’s present.
