The City of American Canyon was incorporated in 1992 and is located about 35 miles northeast of San Francisco at the southern end of Napa County. A permanent "green belt" surrounds much of the city, with the Napa River and a 500–acre wetlands preserve to the west, the 640–acre Jack & Bernice Newell Wilderness Preserve to the east, and vineyard–covered foothills of the Sulphur Spring Mountains to the northeast. Napa County Airport adjoins the city on the north and the City of Vallejo on the south. The major highways include Highway 29, the world famous "Napa Valley Wine Trail" that runs north to south through the City, and Highway 12 that connects with I–80 about three miles to the east and Sonoma County to the west of the City.
It is the goal of the City, pursuant to its General Plan, to accommodate a sufficient range of uses to support the needs of a growing residential population. The City should be a center of employment and commerce for regional, as well as local residents, and will provide an opportunity to capitalize upon the Green Island Industrial Park area, the city’s proximity to Napa County Airport and Union Pacific Railroad, and the agricultural and vineyard industries of Napa County.
The community is actively recruiting businesses to American Canyon that will provide the retail services that the rapidly expanding residential community demands. Excellent business opportunities still exist in the city along Highway 29 that provides easy access from Marin and Solano Counties and Central Napa Valley as well.
