Today and Tomorrow - Fairfield History Books Might Write
Fairfield History Up To 2000:
• Fairfield’s Indians settled in Fairfield’s Rockville and Green Valley areas.
• In 1810 Gabriel Moraga was sent by the Spanish to take over local Suisun Indians. Sadly the Suisun Indians retreated.
• The Suisun Chief Solano in 1842 sold the land. It changed hands and ended up with A.A. Ritchie and Captain Waterman for only $50,000.
• Waterman named the area Fairfield in 1856, after his home in Connecticut. Fairfield became an incorporated city in 1903.
Fairfield History After 2000:
• City spent its redevelopment funds building new projects while forgetting its promise to fix central Fairfield.
• Central Fairfield declined.
• Fairfield voters stood up and demanded the entire Fairfield City Council unite in fixing Fairfield as they were promised decades earlier. Getting only two of the five city council votes wasn't enough.
• Let's hope the Fairfield history continues with... Central Fairfield is redeveloped as promised. It's a win-win for everyone.
