The City’s community history dates the original settlement to 1858, established by Colonel Nathan H. Davis at the mouth of Cache Slough where it meets the Sacramento River. That settlement lay approximately two miles from the present town. Fishing and a salmon cannery were part of its early economy. Flooding destroyed the settlement in January 1862. Some residents left, while others chose higher ground nearby; “New” Rio Vista was established at its present location in March 1862.

Residents rebuilt, and incorporation followed on December 30, 1893. The Council and municipal nomination contact.
