It is bordered by the Otay River Valley and the city of Chula Vista on the north, Interstate 805 and the neighborhoods of Ocean View Hills and San Ysidro on the west, unincorporated San Diego County on the north and east (including East Otay Mesa), and the Otay Centenario borough of Tijuana Municipality, Mexico on the south. Major thoroughfares include Otay Mesa Road/California State Route 905, Otay Valley Road/Heritage Road, Siempre Viva Road, and California State Route 125. Otay Mesa is the second-least walkable neighborhood of San Diego.〔https://www.walkscore.com/CA/San_Diego/Otay_Mesa〕 ==History== ''Otay'' (pronounced ''Oh-Tie'') is derived from the Kumeyaay language. Although its meaning is disputed,〔(Google Books, San Diego County Place Names A to Z, Leland Fetzer. )〕 possible derivations include "otai", meaning "brushy"; "Tou-ti" meaning "big mountain";〔(Google Books, San Diego County Place Names A to Z, Leland Fetzer. )〕 or "etaay" meaning "big".〔Gudde, Erwin. California Place Names, 4th ed. University of California Press, 1998. http://books.google.com/books?id=Kqwt5RlMVBoC&pg=PA273&dq=otay+otai&hl=en&ei=z19xTZGhEY-osAPLx-XQCw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CC4Q6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=otay%20otai&f=false p.273〕 ''Mesa'' is the Spanish word for plateau, table or tableland. Aviation pioneer John J. Montgomery made the first controlled flights in the western hemisphere using a series of gliders from the west rim of Otay Mesa in 1883/1884.,〔Stein, Lou, ''San Diego County Place-Names,'' pages 88-89, Rand Editions-Tofua Press, 1975〕〔Harwood, Craig S. and Fogel, Gary B. ''Quest for Flight: John J. Montgomery and the Dawn of Aviation in the West,'' University of Oklahoma Press, 2012〕 The area which now includes Otay Mesa was annexed from San Diego County along with other portions of South San Diego in 1957. Additional annexation of almost four thousand acres was approved in 1985. Since 2010, seven cross-border tunnels have been found linking Warehouses in Otay Mesa with entry points within Mexico. 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「Otay Mesa, San Diego」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
