TOWNS
Early settlement by Europeans in the area that now comprises San Diego County began about 1769 when Spanish explorers established the Mission San Diego de Alcala.
The county was created in 1850, coinciding with California's admission into the Union. The present county is much reduced from its original size which extended from the Pacific Ocean to the Colorado River.
