CAFR & Budget Analysis
Introduction:
San Diego County begins with the first landing by a European in the present state of California and the first European settlement in California , so that San Diego has been described as "the birthplace of California."
After being discovered by Portuguese explorers sailing under the Spanish flag Juan Rodrigues Cabrillo named the area San Miguel (estimated year: 1499-1543 ). It wasn’t until 1602 that San Diego got its namesake. Spain sent mapper Sebastian Vizcaino to map the California coast and he named the area after the Catholic Saint, Didacus. Didacus was more commonly referred to as San Diego and became one of California 's original 27 counties on February18, 1850, shortly after California became 31st state in the Union.
It is a county located in the southwestern corner of the U.S state of California. It is the most southwestern county in the 48 contiguous United State. Its county seat and larges city is San Diego. According to the 2010 U.S census , San Diego County had a population of 3,224,432 people, making it the second most populous county in California- first being Los Angeles county. An increase of approximately 1.2% over the estimated January 2009 revised total of 3,185,462.
