Solano Community College is a two-year institution of higher learning located in Fairfield, Solano County, California (between San Francisco and Sacramento). Established in 1945 as Vallejo Junior College, Solano was part of the Vallejo Unified School District until 1967 when the College became a countywide institution. The 192-acre campus, located just off Interstate 80, was completed in 1971 and opened with 5,000 students.
Solano College is part of California's public community college system, consisting of 109 campuses in 72 districts across the state. The College's service area encompasses the communities of Benicia, Dixon, Fairfield, Suisun City, Vacaville, Vallejo, and Winters, as well as Travis Air Force Base.
