It most likely means dependable.

If you replace the word "solid" in the sentence with popular, unbroken, or immovable it doesn't makes sense like the word dependable does:

Mark had lived in a small city for all of his life, and local people thought of him as a popular citizen.

Mark had lived in a small city for all of his life, and local people thought of him as a unbroken citizen.

Mark had lived in a small city for all of his life, and local people thought of him as a immovable citizen.

Those don't make sense like:

Mark had lived in a small city for all of his life, and local people thought of him as a dependable citizen.

Hope this helped
