National City
National City is the second oldest city in San Diego County and has a wonderfully rich heritage that the city faithfully preserves. Brothers Frank, Warren and Levi Kimball bought the land which was originally part of the 26,000 acre El Rancho Nacion. They cleared the land, built roads, constructed a wharf and wisely, brought the railroad to the city, which further enriched the culture of the area. The city has four buildings listed in the National register of Historic places, which includes the Santa Fe Rail Depot built in 1882, the only original transcontinental railroad terminus in the United States that is still standing, and now serves as a railway museum and community meeting place.
The city has a population of 54,000 residents and is small enough to maintain a small town atmosphere, while combining a resort feel with mild year round climate and an abundance of nearby attractions. Sea World San Diego, Qualcomm Stadium, Balboa Park, the San Diego Convention Center and San Diego State University are all within minutes. Everything is within reach here: superb shopping malls, miles of pristine beaches, and Mexico at a moment's notice.
The city has an excellent school system, with several schools winning the California distinguished school awards. National City's 10 public elementary schools are under the National School District, and the city's public middle and high schools are in the Sweetwater Union High School District. There are several private and charter schools in the city as well.
