John B. Frisbie

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

General John B. Frisbie (May 20, 1823 – May 11, 1909),[1] served in the California legislature and during the Mexican–American War he served in the US Army.[2] He was a founder of the cities of Vallejo, California, and Benicia, California.

Frisbe was born on May 20, 1823, in Albany, New York, and was educated at The Albany Academy. He practiced law in Buffalo, and upon the outbreak of the Mexican–American War traveled to California as a captain. After the war, he remained in California, and was a merchant in Sonoma County, California. He ran for Lieutenant Governor of California in 1849, but was defeated by John McDougal. He married Epifania de Guadalupe Vallejo (the daughter of Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo) in 1850. He founded Vallejo, California, and named it after Mariano Vallejo. Frisbe became the vice president of California Pacific Railroad in 1869.[3]

The steamship General Frisbie, built 1900, was named for Frisbie.[4]
