Birds Landing (also called Bird's Landing) is a small, quiet community in California. It's not a city, but an "unincorporated community." This means it's a place where people live, but it doesn't have its own city government. Birds Landing is located in southern Solano County, near the Sacramento River. It's about halfway between two big California cities: Sacramento and San Francisco. Even though it's small, Birds Landing has its own special ZIP code, 94512. The local post office closed in 2001.
A Look Back: Birds Landing's History
Birds Landing got its name from a man named John Bird. Long ago, he ran a business here that stored goods and sold them for others. This community was once an important shipping point. This was likely because of its location near the Sacramento River.
