The City of Vallejo is in Solano County , approximately 4 miles southwest of Travis AFB . Vallejo abuts the San Pablo Bay on the northeastern edge of the San Francisco Bay area .
The City was incorporated in 1868 . Prior to its incorporation , Vallejo was home to many Native American tribes , which included the Suisun and Karkin Indians . After California was admitted to the Union in 1850 , Vallejo became the first permanent seat of California in 1852 , although it was moved to Sacramento after a few weeks .
In the year following Vallejo ’ s incorporation , the California Pacific Railroad established a ferry terminal in the city , connecting railroad lines northeast to Sacramento and later San Francisco and cities in Napa Valley , making Vallejo a transportation hub . The location of the city along the bay has been key for commercial shipping , industry , oil companies , and ferry transportation .
