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. American Canyon was developed following World War II, with the McKnight Acres subdivision in the 1940s and Rancho Del Mar in the 1950s. 

The population as of 2010 was approximately 19,500, with a projected population estimated at 20,000 by the year 2015. This residential growth necessitated the construction of a new High School, which opened in August, 2010 and is the home of the "Wolves". The American Canyon High School has extensive athletic facilities and a "state-of-the-art" Performing Arts Center with theater seating for 400. Through an innovative agreement between the City and the Napa Valley Unified School District, the community will be able to schedule events at the Center 180 days a year. 

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. The Napa County Airport adjoins the City on the north, and the City of Vallejo is adjacent on the south. Major highways include Highway 29, the world famous "Napa Valley Wine Trail" that runs north and south through the City, and Highway 12, which connects with I-80 about three miles to the east and Sonoma County to the west.

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 and 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. 

As of March, 2010 there are 4,688 single family residential units, 843 mobile or manufactured homes in 5 communities and 442 apartments for a total of 5,973 residential units in the City of American Canyon. The city has 23 parks totalling 78 acres, a community gymnasium, a senior/multi-purpose center and an extensive trail system with access to the Napa River. The City opened its Public Safety Center in 2007, a new City Hall in January of 2009 and a remodeled Senior/Multi Use Center in May of 2010. For more information about the city of American Canyon please go to the American Canyon City website.
