History
European settlement in what is now San Diego County began with the founding of
the Mission San Diego de Alcala by the Spanish, in 1769.
San Diego County was one of the original counties of California, and was created
at the time of statehood in 1850. It was named after San Diego Bay, which had
been rechristened in 1602 by Sebastián Vizcaíno in honor of the Franciscan St.
Didacus of Alcalá, known in Spanish as San Diego de Alcalá de Henares, and whose
name was borne by Vizcaíno's flagship.
Parts of the county were later divided off to create Riverside County, in 1893,
and Imperial County, in 1907.
[edit]
Geography
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 11,721 km²
(4,526 mi²). 10,878 km² (4,200 mi²) of it is land and 843 km² (326 mi²) of it
(7.20%) is water.
San Diego County has varied topography. On its western side is seventy miles of
coastline. Snow-capped mountains rise to the northeast, with the Sonoran Desert
to the far east. The Cleveland National Forest lies to the southeast.
North San Diego County is known locally as "North County", and has a culture of
its own.

Politics
Traditionally, San Diego County was solidly Republican — it even voted for Barry
Goldwater in 1964. The city of San Diego has become more Democratic, and voted
55-45 for John Kerry in 2004. As a result, the county has become a swing county,
where George W. Bush won only 53-47 in 2004.
The reason for the county's Republican lean despite San Diego's Democratic lean
is the suburbs. While San Diego, Encinitas, National City, Del Mar, and some
other areas voted for John Kerry, suburbs like San Marcos, Escondido, Carlsbad,
Oceanside, Coronado, Santee, Poway, El Cajon, and Vista were overwhelmingly
backing George W. Bush. Chula Vista, La Mesa, Lemon Grove, Solana Beach, and
Imperial Beach are considered swing are as of the county - Chula Vista and
Imperial Beach narrowly backed Al Gore in 2000 but narrowly voted for Bush in
2004, while Solana Beach switched from Bush in 2000 to Kerry in 2004. La Mesa
narrowly voted Bush both times, and Lemon Grove narrowly went Democratic both
times.
One unique feature of the political scene is the use of Golden Hall, a
convention facility next to City Hall, as a central elections center. The County
Registrar of Voters rents the hall to distribute election results. Supporters
and political observers are invited to watch the results come in, candidates
give their victory and concession speeches and host parties for campaign
volunteers and donors at the site, and television stations broadcast from the
floor of the convention center. Golden Hall was scheduled to be closed in 2004,
but was reused again for the November 2005 special election. [1]
