	Benicia, California
		Benicia was founded on May 19, 1847 by Robert Semple, Thomas O. Larkin, and General Mariano Guadelupe de Vallejo, on land deeded to them by Mariano Vallejo, and they originally intended it to be a port city to rival San Francisco.
		Two developments in the early 1960s would completely change Benicia: The closing of the Benicia Arsenal in 1960-64, and the completion of the Benicia-Martinez Bridge in 1962.
		Between 1970 and 1995, the population of Benicia grew steadily at a rate of about 1,000 people per year, and the city changed from a poor, blue-collar town of 7,000 to a wealthy, white-collar bedroom suburb of 28,000.

	GSVB Benicia Capital Intro
		The steam-tug Firefly and two scows were chartered to move the state archives and furniture from the "old" capitol at Vallejo, and on Saturday evening, February 9, 1853, a grand ball was held in the Assembly Chambers of the new statehouse to celebrate the move.
		The southern state would be pro-slave (and thus tip the Congressional balance in Washington, D.C.) while the northern state, though technically still a "free" state (as per the famous "Clay Compromise of 1850") might nevertheless still be dominated by a clever coalition of Whigs (conservatives) and pro-slavery Southern Democrats.
		They believed that state and federal land policies should lead to the creation of a society of free and independent landowners.
