City Of American Canyon
 
Note: This City Is Located In Napa County

The City of American Canyon was incorporated in 1992. The current population is approximately 9,700 residents, with a build-out population estimated at 18,000. Located at the southern end of Napa County (abutting North Vallejo) the City is roughly 3.6 square miles in size.

American Canyon is bounded geographically by the Napa River to the west; the foothills of the Sulphur Springs Mountain Range to the east; the City of Vallejo to the south; and vineyards to the north.

TRANSPORTATION:
Highways: Hwy. 29 (Napa Valley) runs through town. Hwy. 12 (to Fairfield or Santa Rosa) intersects with Highway 29 just north of town; Hwy. 37 (to Interstate 80 or Hwy. 101) is one mile south. Direct access to Interstate 80 is three miles east of town.

Rail: Freight service is provided by California Northern Railroad and Southern Pacific. American Canyon has rail lines extending in all four directions, making it a natural warehouse and distribution center.

Air: The Napa County Airport is within four miles of City Hall. On-call charter service is available 24 hours a day. Major airports (Sacramento, Oakland, San Francisco) are within one hour’s drive. Evans Transportation provides shuttle service to and from San Francisco and Oakland Airports.
     
 

Bus: Napa Valley Transit (The VINE) supplies service as far north as Calistoga, and south to Vallejo. The VINE includes a bus-link to BART and to the Vallejo Ferry service to San Francisco. The City also operates its own local bus service.


CITY GOVERNMENT:
The City of American Canyon operates under the council-manager form of government. Policymaking authority is vested in a five member City Council. Day-to-day administration is provided by the City Manager, serving under the direction of the City Council. Operating departments include Planning, Public Works, Parks & Community Services, and Finance.

  

American Canyon is in a real sense a NEW City that is coming into its own. It is a bedroom community, with many new home subdivisions spring up, new schools being built, including a new high school that is scheduled to be opened by the 2005 school year.
It is still an easy commute to San Francisco and other cities in the Bay Area, but has the feel of being a small town community. It is in the sphere of influence of the City of Vallejo and for those who want to know about purchasing property in Solano County, American Canyon should also be considered as an option.

This home, a Pardee Home, is an example of the many new home sprouting up in American Canyon.
