How did Vacaville get its name?

Last updated February 9, 2021 by ZagBot Comment

The city of Vacaville, California, was named after Juan Manuel Vaca, whose family was one of the first to settle in the area.

Vaca had acquired a share in a substantial portion of land in the area through a Mexican land grant. He sold nine square miles of land to William McDaniel in 1850, with a condition that a township be created on a square-mile portion, which was named Vacaville.
