Suisun
 Suisun is a blooming community located on Highway 12 just south of Fairfield. Despite its astounding growth, the city is aware of its history and carefully preserves and cultivates a historic "old town" charm. The new city hall and beautiful waterfront compliment the downtown area. The new marina on the Suisun Slough attracts boating enthusiasts from throughout Northern California. One of the county's newest commercial “Class A” office space sits at the northern edge of Suisun Harbor.
 A small community of 28,000, Suisun City is situated midway between San Francisco and Sacramento in central Solano County. The Old Town section of the City is located on the Suisun Channel, which empties into Suisun and Grizzly Bays, the connecting point for the Sacramento River and the San Francisco Bay. Since 1989, the city has implemented an aggressive redevelopment program centered on the Old Town Waterfront and Historic Main Street Shopping District. Suisun City is recreating itself as a prosperous waterfront community from a more relaxed time, and is destined to become a thriving destination for business gatherings, family day-trips, and people looking for a singular and relaxing waterfront atmosphere. Residents enjoy a small-town lifestyle and sensibility.
Established in the 1850s as a focal point of commerce and transportation during California's Gold Rush, Suisun City has not forgotten its roots. The community gathers regularly for civic events in Old Town, which is replete with public spaces, promenades and an historic shopping district centered on the picturesque waterfront. City Hall sits on the waterfront's eastern side with its towering dome providing a familiar local landmark. Suisun City's location led to its rising prominence in the late 19th Century as the trading center tying agricultural areas with major urban centers through shipping and railroad links. In 1869, the Transcontinental Railroad connected to downtown Suisun City, expanding the region's reach across the nation. The city was the bustling hub of agricultural Solano County for more than a century. In the 1960s and 1970s, Suisun City experienced explosive growth as the San Francisco Bay Area's suburban ring extended to rural Solano County.
