RV rental Dixon, CA: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

Dixon is a city in Solano County, California, which was incorporated in 1878. The first settlement near where Dixon now stands was Silveyville, established by Elijah S. Silvey in 1852. Silvey built and operated an inn and saloon along a well-traveled stagecoach route made famous by the California Gold Rush. By 1865, it had expanded to include a general store, post office, and a blacksmith. The arrival of the Vaca Valley Railroad upset the citizens of Silveyville when they learned that the line would not pass through their town. Instead, it crossed the property of Thomas Dickson who initiated a new settlement where downtown Dixon is located today. Settlers in Silveyville moved their homes and buildings by flat car to Dicksonville in order to be closer to the rail tracks. Dickson insisted that the community be officially named Dicksonville but the arrival of a package in 1872 was addressed to “Dixon” and the name stuck. Dickson tried for two years to have the change reversed but a county recorder in 1874 filed the new city maps under the name “Dixon”, stating that it was easier to remember.

Book an RV in Solano County and you are one step closer to exploring the majestic rolling hills of northern California. There are some other towns and cities worth exploring too, such as Dunnigan, which was originally named Antelope by two early settlers, J. S. Copp and Jolin Wilson, but later changed to Dunnigan after A.W. Dunnigan, who opened an inn under his last name. Roseville was originally named “Grinders” (for unknown reasons), then “Junction” when the railroad arrived in 1864, “Roseville Junction” after that and finally “Roseville” when the city was incorporated in 1909. Lodi produced much of the San Joaquin County wheat crop in 1880, which at 3.4 million bushels, was the largest in the world. Antioch, in addition to the Californian city, is the name of eleven other cities also located in the United States. Yountville is thought by many to be Napa Valley's culinary heart and was the location of Napa Valley's first planted grapevines. Renting a Dixon motorhome rental is how you will be able to see these places and anything else you desire.
