Dixon’s railroad history, downtown and Pardi Plaza give local projects a distinct setting. We help organize campaign websites, signs, print and mail around your content and production schedule. Municipality: City of Dixon · Solano County. Downtown origins: Established as Dicksonville in 1868. Incorporation: 1878. Historic display: Pardi Plaza. Dixon is a city in Solano County with municipal election resources maintained by the City. Its history connects the relocation of Silveyville with the railroad and the establishment of today’s downtown. A downtown shaped by the railroad. In 1868, Thomas Dickson donated ten acres for the California Pacific Railroad. The City’s history, supplied by the Dixon Historical Society, explains that Silveyville residents moved closer to tracks that were about three and a half miles from their town. Downtown Dixon began as Dicksonville that year. Rail transport offered a faster and less expensive way to send grain to market than the earlier boat journey. Dixon incorporated in 1878. Its downtown history is closely tied to the railroad, which changed where the community lived and how agricultural products reached the market. Pardi Plaza and the station’s different chapters. The City and Dixon Historical Society maintain a historical display at Pardi Plaza. The Historical Society museum at 125 West A Street offers another way to explore the downtown story. The first station burned in 1883; a replacement was built in 1884 and demolished in 1968. The present replica was built in 2007, west of the tracks at Jefferson and B Streets. Municipal offices and the council district map. Dixon’s 2024 Notice of Offices and Nominations identifies the Mayor and City Treasurer as at-large offices with four-year terms. It lists Council Districts 3 and 4 for that election. That dated notice explains the offices without serving as a future filing calendar. The current City elections page provides municipal nomination instructions and City Clerk contact information. The Council page links to the district map approved April 5, 2022, along with agendas, minutes and meeting videos. Use the municipal map to check a council district rather than assuming that a Dixon postal address identifies the appropriate seat. City records and county election services. The Council resource page brings together member information, campaign statement links and public meeting records. It is a useful companion to the elections page: one explains the public body and its work, while the other supplies candidate instructions and nomination contacts. Solano County’s current election page provides voter resources, candidate materials and polling-place information, including a Dixon map. Its candidate-resources page directs city-office and city-committee FPPC filers to the appropriate City Clerk. Keep the exact office title, district where applicable and clerk-confirmed requirements together in the project brief. Make the most of your Dixon project.
