Dixon offers much more than a few gas stations and a Wal-Mart. You can get to Dixon from Davis by going west on Interstate 80 or by taking country roads such as Pedrick Road. Located in Solano County, it takes no longer to get from Davis to Dixon than it does to get to Woodland, and it's cheaper to live in Dixon than in Davis. Many restaurants are located along Pitt School Road. The animals most associated with the town are lambs and sheep, hence the high school mascot: the rams. A lesser used name for Dixon is "Ram Town," which can be seen on some of the local businesses. Davis and Dixon are separated by the Davis-Dixon Greenbelt.
