Vacaville Overview

Vacaville might have been off the radar for many years in Northern California, but it's recently experienced a major surge in popularity. Between the economic opportunities and the gorgeous landscape, those living in Vacaville apartments are centrally located in many ways. Sandwiched between Sacramento and San Francisco, it opens up plenty of doors for those who want to get a taste for the best of the state. 

What is the history of Vacaville?

Vacaville has a bit of a saucy past, originally stemming from a duplicitous land deal. The original owner was a man named Manuel Vaca, and he sold the land under false pretenses to a William McDaniel. The land was first recorded in 1851, and the city was first incorporated in the late 1800s. In its first years, Vacaville was a place for farmers to hang their hats, a fact that led the city to be known as the fresh fruit capital of the state. Today, it's known for its collection of life-science companies, with Chiron, Alzo, and Genentech all using the city for its home base. 

How is the weather in Vacaville?

Like most places in California, the weather in Vacaville is dry and hot during the summer. However, the winter's are relatively cold and wet, a Northern California trait that can see the temperatures dip down into the 30s. However, it's rare for the Vacaville to hit freezing or rise much above triple digits. The area may also see mild earthquakes from time to time. 

How do I get around town?

Vacaville does have public transportation available in the form of the bus and subway. There are stations in the most popular areas of the city, though the number of stops is usually not enough to make it a practical way to get around town.
