About us

We're proud of our 200-year heritage. And today, Vallejo continues to be a friendly, active waterfront community that attracts innovative and hardworking people and businesses. This is reflected in Vallejo being ranked the hottest real estate market in the United States for the past twelve months. The City of Vallejo's story begins in 1844 when General Mariano G. Vallejo saw the promise of the area. Named after him and twice the site of the state capitol in the 1850s, Vallejo grew into an important shipping and naval center. Legend has it that Mare Island got its name after Gen. Vallejo drove a herd of horses across the Carquinez Strait. Established in 1854, Mare Island Naval Shipyard was the West Coast's first shipyard. Decommissioned in 1996, Mare Island is now home to more than 100 businesses and has become an industrial, commercial and residential engine for the Bay Area. A strong economy and affordable housing have meant new prosperity for Vallejo, as businesses and residents come to the city. Some are attracted by the beautifully restored Victorian homes and business fronts; others by the newer homes in the Northgate and Hiddenbrooke developments. The city recently earned Main Street designation, and as a result our downtown area has benefited from on-site training in effective commercial district revitalization, technical assistance, consulting services, networking activities, and site assessments from California Main Street. Waterfront and Mare Island redevelopment have become a community effort, with input from residents helping shape the future of what will become the most important economic generators for the city. The city's Ferry Terminal and ferry services have served as a model for the rest of the Bay Area, helping make Vallejo a transportation and commuter hub for the North Bay with over 1 million riders annually. Six Flags Marine World, restaurants and the Downtown Farmer's Market help make Vallejo the vibrant community it is today.

  • Andrew's Announcements - A Message From the Vallejo City Manager Hello Vallejo, I hope that everyone is tolerating the heat and I’m sure you’re ready to cool off this weekend. What better way to do that than to head to the Vallejo Waterfront Weekend? I’ll be in the Splash Tank with a line-up of other elected officials and community leaders, so come by and have some fun while helping to raise money for local charities. Please see the link with event details in this edition of the Vallejo Weekly. There was a great opportunity to beat the heat yesterday. The Vallejo Police Department celebrated national Coffee with a Cop Day, which is October 2nd. The department hosted community members for engagement and dialog over boba at the Filipino community center. Members of the public got to meet officers and other department staff and share ideas and concerns regarding public safety. As you know, sideshows continue to create major disturbances. The Vallejo Police Department continues to work with our regional law enforcement partners to combat the problem as resources allow. The Public Works Department is directing more attention to the issue and is researching new technologies and approaches for large intersections specifically. We hope to install some pilot projects this fall. You may have seen at the last City Council meeting that concerns were raised about issues that unfolded at the recent Fiestas Patrias event. To ensure that community events such as this receive rapid resolution of any City-related issues that arise on the day of the event, moving forward, the City will have a Public Works Supervisor present during event set up and take down and on call throughout the day for such events. We are moving forward with a second community panel for the Police Chief recruitment and the City’s recent hiring trajectory shows we are building police staffing steadily to improve public safety. Finally, I truly appreciate having been invited to so many charitable events recently and I’m looking forward to connecting with those organizations more in the future. I have been impressed by the generous spirit of the community in supporting others. With appreciation, Andrew Murray Vallejo City Manager

  • City of Vallejo Update on Navigation Center: Request for proposals for operator of the Vallejo Homeless Navigation Center The City of Vallejo has released a Request for Proposals (RFP) to identify a qualified operator for the new Vallejo Homeless Navigation Center. This facility will provide shelter and critical services to individuals and couples experiencing homelessness in the community, offering them support and resources that contribute to stability and self-sufficiency. The City seeks an operator that prioritizes an equitable and inclusive approach, ensuring fair access to services and shelter for all participants. The operator must demonstrate a strong commitment to equity, working closely with the community to maintain a safe and welcoming environment for both participants and surrounding neighborhoods. This includes gathering feedback from those served and implementing data-driven strategies to continuously enhance service delivery, while fostering positive relationships with local residents to address concerns and ensure the Navigation Center is a beneficial resource for all. The Vallejo Navigation Center will provide 125 shelter beds. In addition to shelter, the center will offer individual case management, access to social and medical services, and job training to help participants develop skills that support their journey to stability. The selected operator will manage the center’s daily operations and deliver wrap-around services, focusing on a Housing First philosophy that emphasizes harm reduction, trauma-informed care, and low-barrier entry to shelter. The City plans to execute a two-year Consultant and Professional Services Agreement with the selected provider, with the possibility of contract extensions based on performance. Proposals can be submitted through the City’s procurement system at https://lnkd.in/gvKnYJX5 under the project title “Vallejo Homeless Navigation Center.” The deadline for proposal submissions is October 18, 2024. This initiative is made possible through funding and partnerships with the City of Vallejo, County of Solano, CAP Solano JPA, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, California Department of Housing and Community Development, Kaiser Permanente, Sutter Health, and NorthBay Health.
