The city of San Diego was the first Spanish settlement in
California. This occurred when a fort and mission were
established in 1769. Back in 1769, California was just
beginning to get established, therefore it wasn't near the
state nor the size that it is today.
When visiting the Old Town Park, you should make sure to
visit the Robinson-Rose House Visitor Center. This center is
reconstructed now and displays a model of Old Town and the
way it looked back in 1872. The model that is on display was
created by Joseph Toigo.
The Old Town Park also offers exhibits of the way things used
to be, programs, and even guided tours. You can get a
personal tour of the park, with a guide who will show you
around and even explain things to you.
