Native Tribes
There were two villages in Suisun Marsh. One was Mesaia, which was near what is now Suisun City. The other was near what is now Rush Ranch. There is a huge rock piece where the Suisuni women ground acorns. They used a rock as a mortar and a rock in their as a pestle. This made bowl-like holes in the rock. In 1800 there were about 2,300 Patwin Native Americans in Solano County. In 1823 Father Jose Altimira, who founded (started and built) Sonoma Mission, came to Solano and found no Patwins left.
