Our History
Explore Naval Base San Diego History.
About a century ago, San Diego was a small border town with a population of 75,000. Today, its economy is booming with tourism, international trade, manufacturing, and research—and at the center of it all is the strong presence of the U.S. military. The city's landmark installation, now home to the nation's largest military population, celebrated its centennial anniversary this year.
