The Suisun, or Suisunes, were a Patwin band of Wintun people. They lived in the Suisun Bay and Suisun Marsh regions of Solano County in Northern California.
Their traditional homelands stretched between what is now Suisun City, Vacaville and Putah Creek around 200 years ago. The Suisun's main village, Yulyul, is believed to be where Rockville, California, is today.
Father Abella, visitor to the tribe in 1811, indicated they resided in the present location of Fairfield, north of the Suisun Bay. One of the Suisun's primary food sources was acorns. Their diet also included fish as well as miner's lettuce. Their huts (as recorded by the Spaniards in 1817) were conical wikiups made of rushes or tule thatch.
