Where is Vault 33?
Pretty much the whole premise of the TV series, Fallout, takes place in Vault 33. This is also known as the home of the MacLean family from where the show's protagonist is from.
The show describes Vault 33 as a Vault-Tec vault that was previously in Santa Monica in Los Angeles, California. The TV series depicts it as the location next to the Santa Monica Pier.
As you watch Fallout, you get to understand that it is actually an experimental Vault. It is part of a tripartite society with two other Vaults: Vaults 32 and 31. This explains why they frequently trade with each other and intermarry.

These two Vaults were used as breeding pools for individuals with good genetics. As a result, their offspring were physically healthy super managers.

The primary crop in Vault 33 is corn. Throughout its 200+ year run, there were no problems with the Vault. But because weevils were able to get inside the Vault and infect the crops, the Vault experienced a famine in 2277.
This led to several becoming starved and even a few casualties.
In the series, we also learn that Vault 33 got attacked by NCR raiders who thought they were from Vault 32. The show later revealed that the water chip failed, which led to confusion.
