San Diego County Overview
Communities ALONZO E. HORTON stepped off a San Francisco steamer and strolled ashore in 1867 on land that would become the center of a new San Diego. He was awed by what he found. "I have been nearly all over the world," said the man who would one day be known as the father of New San Diego, "and this is just the prettiest place for a city I ever saw." It was an exclamation to be echoed by millions of others, visitors and residents, with unceasing repetition, for more than a century. Alonzo Horton was not the first, but he was surely the single most influential San Diego real estate speculator in the history of a city whose story may be told in real estate speculation. Nor was Horton the first to be attracted by San Diego's natural harbor and almost-supernatural beauty. Mr. Horton was referred to as "The Father of San Diego" and certainly proved over the years to be a successful and astute real estate investor. He was a masterful marketer and promoter of all of the finer things that this community was about to offer.
