Item Description
1860's WELLS FARGO & CO., CoverManuscript "MONTEZUMA M. Ch. _
"Paid - Over Our California and Coast Routes."
Addressed to Mess. Scalamanini & Frapolli, San Francisco
Montezuma is a former hamlet and township in Solano County, California, located in the California Delta region of the state; the township, which embraced the hamlet, and several other places, such as Bird's Landing—which still exists—included portions of the Montezuma Hills.
The hamlet was also a stop on the Oakland, Antioch and Eastern Railway (later absorbed into the Sacramento Northern Railway), an electrified interurban passenger rail line that ran, with the help of a ferry across Suisun Bay, from Oakland, through Contra Costa County, across the bay, and into Solano County, making stops at Chipps and Dutton, before passing through Montezuma on its way to Rio Vista, California. The railway stop was located approximately a mile and a half northwest of present-day Collinsville, just after the rail line swung due north, from its north-easterly trajectory from the ferry landing at Chipps Island, at the Suisun Bay shoreline.
On the west side of Canada Road, a mile north of the Sickert and Billings vineyard, a line of cypresses borders a disused side road which once led to the vineyard and winery of Carlo Scalmanini. A native of Switzerland, Scalmanini had come to San Francisco in the early 1850s. About 1858, in partnership with a compatriot, Battista Frapolli, Scalmanini had established a wholesale grocery and liquor business on Front between Clay and Washington streets. A decade later, they dissolved the partnership. Scalmanini became a dealer in domestic wines and brandies with cellai s on Front street near Pacific. Frapolli formed a new partnership with Berges and also dealt in California wines in the same neighborhood at Sansome Street near Jackson. In the late 1880s, Scalmanini opened a grocery and wine store in woodside and at the same time set out over eighty acres, chiefly to Zinfandel and other red wine grapes, and built a brick wine1y.
