San Diego as we know it was first settled by the Spanish in the late 17th century after the area was discovered by Juan Cabrillo. Settlement began in 1769 with a party led by Gaspar de Portola; his settlement is widely considered to be the first settlement in the region, despite the fact that recent evidence has proven there had been small settlements as early as the turn of the 18th century.
San Diego proper began as a Spanish mission and, like many major cities today, proceeded to grow, It was incorporated as a city in 1850, after it had come into possession of the United States and at the height of the California Gold Rush; the city was appointed the seat of San Diego County a few years later. Today, San Diego is known for its high-tech industries and high-paying employment opportunities, which makes it a popular area for start-up and venture capitalist firms.
San Diego enjoys warmer weather during the summer, but due to its proximity to the Pacific Ocean the average high temperatures during the summer only reach into the mid-to-upper 70’s, with overnight lows generally dropping down into the mid-to-upper 50’s.
