Incorporated in 1911, Chula Vista is the 19th largest city in California. The city is home to approximately 200,000 inhabitants. It lies within the metropolitan area of San Diego which has a population of about 3 million people. Chula Vista is located 15 miles south of San Diego and borders the bay named for that city.
The Kumeyaay Indians lived here for hundreds of years before the Spanish claimed this land in 1542. Chula Vista and surrounding communities are on the land once granted by Spain in 1795 known as Rancho del Rey. It was used for cattle grazing by Mexico, which renamed it Rancho del la Nation in 1831.
