Discovery by Juan Cabrillo (1542)
-
Cabrillo (see Cabrillo Statue) was the first European to arrive at San Diego Bay. The Spanish believed that Baja and Alta California were part of a larger island, “Isla California,” named after a legendary land in a popular Spanish 15th-century romance. California became part of the Spanish Empire for the next 279 years.
