San Diego with port

San Diego is originally a part of the Kumeyaay settlement. The bay of San Diego was discovered in 1542 by Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo and claimed for Spain. The name of San Diego (Spanish for the Holy Didacus) was given in 1602 by Sebastián Vizcaíno, who mapped the California coast and whose flagship was San Diego. The permanent Spanish colonization of San Diego began only in 1769 with the foundation of the fortress Presidio de San Diego and the Franciscan mission San Diego de Alcalá. San Diego was the first mission in Upper California (equivalent to the state of California today) and is therefore called the "birthplace of California." It was also the first European settlement in the West of the United States today.

From Mexican independence in 1821 to the Mexican-American War in 1846-48, San Diego belonged to Mexico. At the end of the war, Mexico tried to keep at least San Diego, but the victorious Americans insisted on maintaining the entire bay of San Diego, and the border was set in the Guadalupe Hidalgo Treaty a denial (3 miles) south of the southernmost point of the bay. That's where it's still today.

In 1850, San Diego became one of California's first settlements (besides San Francisco, Sacramento, San José, and even before Los Angeles). Originally, the city was located at the foot of Presidio Hills, on the site of the Old Town Park. But it was rather unfavorable, because it was several miles from the coast. In the second half of the 19th century, a "new town" was developed on the coast, which corresponds to today's downtown and the Gaslamp Quarter. In the 1880s, San Diego had its first major population boom: Within ten years, the population grew fivefold. By 1900 the city had 17,000 inhabitants. In 1915-16 and 1935-36, San Diego was the venue for two world exhibitions, the Panama-California Exposition and the California Pacific International Exposition, for which the Balboa Park was designed. In the 1920s San Diego grew into a big city, in the 1950s the half-million mark was cracked, since the late 1980s San Diego has been a millionaire city.

San Diego is an important base of the American Navy. In 1901 the Navy operated a coal plant. In 1922, the Naval Base San Diego was founded, which is now the second largest naval base in the United States. Two aircraft carriers, 15 amphibian warships, eight cruisers, 14 destroyers, nine naval warships, three mine search boats and support vessels have their home port. 26,000 military and civilian workers work at the base.

The coastline around San Diego is one of the origin of modern surfing. The International Surfing Association is based here.
