4.9/5 (10233 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from The Story of San Diego That part of the New World which was to become San Diego county, in the State of California, was discovered from the desert side in 1539, by a monk called Father Marcos. This man, who was looking for gold, had journeyed from New Galicia, in Northern Mexico, to the region about the Colorado river in search of the "seven cities of Cibola," known in border fable as the opulent and teeming homes of artisans in precious metal. Arriving at Vacapos, which he described as a "hospitable town," the monk sent his companions to spy out the land. Some of them marched westward to a Sierran range; and when they reached its top they were able to see the ocean. The great waters, they said, were but forty leagues from Vacapos, a place which, from the distance given, must have been within the future limits of San Diego.
