Vallejo: From Naval Shipyard to Bay Area Affordability
Vallejo occupies the northeastern shore of San Pablo Bay in Solano County. The city served briefly as the state capital of California in 1852 and 1853 before the legislature moved on. More importantly, Mare Island Naval Shipyard operated from 1854 to 1996, building and repairing warships through every conflict from the Civil War to the Cold War. The shipyard's closure eliminated thousands of jobs and sent Vallejo into an economic decline that culminated in municipal bankruptcy in 2008. The city emerged from Chapter 9 in 2011 and has been rebuilding since.
Mare Island itself is undergoing redevelopment. A distillery, a winery, and artist studios have moved into former military buildings. The Nimitz Group converted sections into office and creative space. The island's officers' row, a line of Victorian homes once occupied by Navy brass, is being restored. The broader redevelopment plan envisions thousands of housing units alongside commercial and recreational uses.
Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, a theme park and marine animal park, is Vallejo's best-known attraction. The park sits along Interstate 80, which connects Vallejo to San Francisco roughly 30 miles to the southwest. The Vallejo Ferry terminal provides a direct water route to the San Francisco Ferry Building, making the city an option for commuters priced out of closer Bay Area towns.
