In 1810 the Spanish army attacked (and later allied with) the Suisun Indians. Later on in 1837, Chief Solano received a Mexican land grant for the area.

The older parts of town (east of Interstate 80) have generally lower price points for apartments. If you're eco-minded, consider living in Green Valley. This area has roots with old Suisun farming communities and includes microbreweries, wineries, and numerous farm to table businesses. If green spaces are important to you, living near Rockford Hills Regional Park offers hiking, biking, and stunning mountain views.
