Old Town San Diego is the location of the first European settlement in #california , and the birthplace of America’s Finest city. The Old Town San Diego State Historic Park pays tribute to the #cultural influences that make California special. It consists of restored and reconstructed buildings that capture the energy of #sandiego during the 1800s. The central plaza is lined with buildings dating back to the 1820s that offer a glimpse of the lifestyles of San Diego’s first residents.
This documentary takes us on a journey through the #history of the #oldtownsandiego area, beginning with the Kumeyaay #nativeamerican peoples. We’ll then learn more about the arrival of #spanish explorers and their occupation in the San Diego region. #mexico would take control over San Diego, and it would have a large influence on the area’s #culture , #traditions , and history. However, their control over San Diego would be short lived as the #america would seize control of San Diego after the Mexican-American War. It was during this period that building such as the Seeley Stable Museum, San Diego Union #newspaper Museum, Casa de Bandini & The Cosmopolitan Hotel, First Brick Courthouse, La Casa de Estudillo, La Casa de Machado y Stewart, the Robinson-Rose house, McCoy House, Johnson House, and Old Town #theatre would become part of Old Town.
