South Bay is a region in southwestern San Diego County, California consisting of the communities and cities of Bonita, Chula Vista, Imperial Beach, Lincoln Acres, National City, and South San Diego.〔Herrera, Angelica P., Lee, Jerry , Palos, Guadalupe, and Torres-Vigil, Isabel. (Cultural Influences in the Patterns of Long-Term Care Use Among Mexican American Family Caregivers ), Journal of Applied Gerontology, Vol. 27 No. 2, April 2008 p.146.〕 South Bay is a mix of heavy industrial complexes and shipyards, alongside classic Southern California style neighborhoods. One of its cities, Imperial Beach, bills itself as ''Classic Southern California'' for being relatively untouched in terms of other coastal cities. ==History== The area encompassing the South Bay was originally inhabited by the Kumeyaay peoples. Under Mexican rule, several Mexican land grants were established in the region, including Rancho Janal, Rancho Otay, and Rancho de la Nación. In the 1870s, South Bay Salt Works began operations. National City was incorporated in 1887, Chula Vista in 1911, and Imperial Beach in 1956. South San Diego, including the communities of San Ysidro, Nestor, Palm City, and Otay Mesa, were annexed by the city of San Diego in 1957. The term "South Bay" has referred to the region since at least the early 20th century, with one reference dating from 1918.〔California Development Board, San Diego County (Calif.). Board of Supervisors, San Diego Chamber of Commerce. (Agricultural and soil survey of San Diego County, California ). Frye & Smith 1918. p. 34.〕 In October 2007, South Bay was quickly encroached upon by the Harris Fire, part of a series of fires that ravaged California in the 2007 Fire season. Traditionally more residential and calmer than busier North County, 2010 saw that regional cities were taking on projects that included the development of luxury resorts in efforts to revitalize the South Bay. On May 18, 2010 further development of the Chula Vista Bayfront was authorized by the Unified Port of San Diego and City of Chula Vista. Plans included marina expansion, luxury resort development, and the addition of a conference center. Additionally, in Imperial Beach, on September 29, 2010 the Seacoast Inn was demolished to make room for a $20 million resort. 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「South Bay, San Diego」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
