THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO, CAL 



This city is situated upon the northerly side of the Bay of San Diego, about 

 seven miles from the entrance to the harbor j latitude 32 deg. 40 m.; 4S0 miles 

 southeast of San Francisco. Population about 5000— now steadily increslsing. The 

 site is one of the most picturesque and beautiful in the world. The Bay is about 15 

 miles long, and contains an area of more than 25 square miles. The land has an 

 <.^asy slope or grade for half a mile, and then rises more rapidly to an elevation of 150 

 to 200 feet, giving every part of the city a fine view of the Bay, the ocean, Coronada 

 islands, Point Loma, Table mountain, and many other objects of interest and natural 

 beauty. San Eh ego is 400 miles nearer New York city than San Francisco ; also 

 tiearer China, Japan, Australia and the South Pacific Islands — a commercial advan. 

 tage of great value. The city has seven churches, good schools, a public library and 

 .'•eading room, numerous secret orders, and places of amusement ; also gas. water, 

 street car and telephone companies. Many costly business blocks and stately resi- 

 dences are in process of erection or just completed, and the city is now improving 

 tnore rapidly than at any previous time. 



The Climate. — No place on the continent can show so favorable weather ann 

 health records. No heated terms in the summer or cold spells in the winter— no 

 malaria. Physical labor is here performed with the least discomfort the year round. 

 Professor Agassiz visited San Diego in August, 1872, and then said : ''This is one 

 o! the favored spots of the earth, and people will come to you from all quarters to 

 live in your genial and healthy atmosphere." Many have been disappointed and 

 imposed upon by the ingenious and extravagant assertions of interested parties io 

 favor of other places. Therefore we urge you, if interested, to examine the Signal 

 bervic-e and other reliable records. You will find that San Diego may rightfully 

 claim the best climate to be found anywhere. Mean temperature— spring 60, sum. 

 tner 67. fall 63, and winter 54 degrees. 



Health and Pleasure Itesor^.— Florida, Mt. Desert, and other places are 

 good at some particular season— bat San Diego, all the year round, as a summer 

 resort, is the best in the world. All the conditions required to ins'ure the greatest 

 amount of recreation and benefit to the pleasure seeker, or those in declining health, 

 are found in the City and County of San Diego— such as first-class hotels, board- 

 ing houses, good roads and drives, hunting, fishing, sailing, sea baths, hot springs, 

 clear skies, and many other features of interest to vi.sitors.
