City

Oceanside, California

Northern America

Oceanside is a beach city on the Pacific coast in the North County area of San Diego County, California, and the most populous city in that part of the county. Its origins go back to 1798, when the Spanish founded the village of San Luis Rey around Mission San Luis Rey de Francia, which grew to be the largest of the California missions before declining after the Mexican secularization act of 1833. After the American conquest of California the former mission lands were developed into an oceanfront resort and the community name gradually changed to Oceanside. Beaches, historic landmarks and architecture make it a popular destination for visitors.
