History of San Diego

Back to 9000 B.C., San Diego belonged to the California coastal region. There living people were first Americans but now they are called San Dieguito. During 1000 B.C., there were living Indians. In 16 century, Spanish were also migrated over here. Cabrillo was first European who invented San Diego while he was searching for the path to link Atlantic and pacific oceans. He discovered it by the name of San Miguel. He came to this place on September 28, 1542. For many decades, it was ignored by visitors. After sixty years, another explorer came here and renamed it as San Diego. Spanish were not interested in settling the California so this region ignored for many years again. The colonization did not begin in next 167 years.
