The oldest city in California, San Diego is situated on
San Diego Bay 110 miles (177 kilometers) southeast of Los
Angeles and about 15 miles (24 kilometers) from the Mexican
border. It is the seat of San Diego County. The city's
population has continually increased because of San Diego's
superb harbor and beautiful setting and because of its mild,
even climate. 
  San Diego's harbor is protected by two peninsulas that
almost enclose the bay. The northern peninsula, the tip of
which is called Point Loma, is 7 miles (11 kilometers) long,
and the southern peninsula is 10 miles (16 kilometers) long.
North Island, a naval air station, and Coronado, a
residential and resort community, are at the tip of the
southern peninsula. The bay is a natural deepwater harbor
that handles much coastal and foreign shipping. Population
(1980 census), city, 875,504; metropolitan area, 1,861,846
