The Gold Coast is a northwestern region of the Baja California Peninsula. It is one of the most visited places in Mexico.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.discoverbajacalifornia.com/the-baja-gold-coast.php )〕 The Gold Coast is one of the richest, most educated, and most developed areas in Mexico. Just south of California, the Gold Coast consists of the north western coastline on the Baja California Peninsula. Its urban area is a continuation of the South Coast urban area, and overall, extends from the Southern Californian city of Oxnard to Rosarito. The two regions share much cultural and economic exchange. The largest cities of the Gold Coast are Tijuana, Ensenada, and Rosarito. ==History== The modern day area of the Gold Coast traces its roots through thousands of years of prehistory when the Kumeyaay dwelt in the area.〔("California Indians and Their Reservations: P. ) ''SDSU Library and Information Access.'' (retrieved 21 May 2010)〕 The first European explorers to arrive to the area were Iberian sailors, the first being Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo in 1542, who journeyed the coastline. Under orders from the Viceroy of Mexico City, in 1602 Sebastián Vizcaíno mapped the coast of the Californias in detail looking for natural harbors for Spanish galleons. The region is part of an area that once belonged to Imperial Spain and was under the jurisdiction of the Province of the Californias. The Californias were split when Mexico won its independence from Spain into Alta California and Baja California. Following the Mexican-American War, the Californias became politically separated as California became a territory of the United States of America. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gold Coast (Baja California)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
