The city of San Diego was founded in 1769 on the Pacific coast, and
was incorporated into a city in 1850. However, in the late 1860's the
city moved a few miles south to "New Town", which would later become
downtown San Diego. This map was produced approximately 10 years after
the move to San Diego Bay. In the years since, it has grown to become
the second most populous city in California. Complete reference list
below.
