City Of American Canyon

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. Approximately 14,306 people resided here at the beginning of 2005.

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 Springs Mountains to the northeast. Napa County Airport adjoins the city on the north and the City of Vallejo on the south. Our major highways include Highway 29, the world famous "Napa Valley Wine Trail" that runs north and 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.
