Pacific Beach, California, was founded in 1887 by land speculators after the establishment of the railroad to San Diego, which resulted in the formation of many ocean-side communities. A aland booma ensued, yet was short-lived due to the Great Depression of the 1890s. World War II brought a torrent of people to Pacific Beachaworkers, sailors, and Marines, as well as their familiesaincreasing its population five-fold. After the war, many residents remained, thus ensuring the growth of the community and the number of businesses, schools, and local services.
A photographic history, Pacific Beach includes images that illustrate the communityas birth, hardships, and prosperity since its incorporation, as well as the people, places, and attractions that today make the area a well-known destination for visitors from around the
world. Featuring images of some of Pacific Beachas most historic landmarks, including the Crystal Pier and the Brown Military Academy, as well as local businesses, architecture, and churches, this pictorial tribute celebrates the history of this San Diego suburb from its
earliest days.
