Here is some history on Pacific Beach. When two transcontinental railroads to Southern California were finished, land developers and speculators moved in. The first subdivision map of Pacific Beach was platted and put on the market in October, 1887, by the Pacific Beach Company. The 1887 map included more than two square miles of territory. The tract ran two and a half miles east from the ocean, and a scant mile north from the curve of False Bay (now Mission Bay) to present-day Loring Street. New subdivisions were sprouting like mushrooms all over the city and county.
