General Description

The Beautiful of California

The name Chula Vista comes from the Spanish for “beautiful view.” A drive around the city will make it obvious why: the town is tucked between coastal mountain foothills and the San Diego Bay, offering stunning outlooks. 

Chula Vista is the second-largest city in the San Diego metropolitan area, as well as the seventh-largest city in Southern California. Chula Vista is also the fourteenth largest city within the state of California; in the United States, it is the 76th largest city with a population of 243,916.

The city has a rich, fascinating history. The Kumeyaay people inhabited the area along with San Diego before the Spanish claimed the territory.  The city also became part of the newly declared Mexican Empire in the 19th century and was reformed as the First Mexican Republic just two years later. After the Mexican-American War, California became part of the United States in 1848 and was admitted to the union as a state in 1850.

Today, Chula Vista is a thriving city with a strong local economy. City leadership have made significant advances in ensuring that the city is ready for business expansion and attraction while also collaborating with Baja California officials and establishing an environment for economic growth and prosperity. There are endless opportunities to enjoy the amenities Chula Vista has to offer.

Chula Vista is popular among lovers of the outdoors. With year-round sunny weather, mountains, coastlines, vast areas open space, and miles of trails, the region attracts runners, cyclists, birders and outdoor enthusiasts from the bay to lakes. For indoor alternatives, the city features two major malls to meet the dining, shopping and entertainment needs of its residents.

Otay Ranch Town Center, for instance, is home to over 100 of the top specialty stores in the country; it’s an exciting and versatile outdoor shopping, dining, and entertainment spot. The center also includes cafes, a library, and an adjacent dog park, along with a play fountain for kids. After exploring the center, residents and visitors can stop at Chula Vista’s cinema theaters and golf courses. With so many fun activities on offer, it’s no wonder that tourism is a major economic engine for the city.

Among the remarkable attractions you will find in the city include:

  • Mattress Firm Amphitheater
  • The Chula Vista Marina
  • The US Olympic Training Center
  • Otay Valley Regional Park
  • The Chula Vista Nature Center
