San Diego is the home of numerous military facilities including Navy ports and Marine bases. It is the home port of two Navy carriers, the USS John C. Stennis and the USS Constellation, five amphibs, and numerous smaller ships. One of only two of the United States Marine Corps' Recruit Depots is located here.
In 1822 San Diego became part of Mexico. In 1834 San Diego was incorporated as a town and Juan Maria Osuna elected the first mayor. It became part of the United States of America after the Mexican-American War.
In 1885 San Diego was linked to the rest of the nation by railroad. In 1886 San Diego was reincorporated as a city.
Significant U.S. Naval presence began in 1907 with the establishment of the Navy Coaling Station.
San Diego hosted two World's Fairs, the Panama-California Exposition in 1915 and the California Pacific International Exposition in 1935.
Since World War II the military has played a leading role in the local economy. Following the end of the Cold War the military presence has diminished considerably. San Diego has since become a center of the emerging biotech industry and is home to telecommunications giant Qualcomm.
