________________
DID YOU KNOW?
Established in 1887, Pacific Beach was to have as its centerpiece, the 23-acre College of Letters, which opened in 1888 on land at Garnet Avenue and Lamont Street, where Pacific Plaza Shopping Center now sits. Due to a lack of students, the college soon closed.
With the exception of farming (mostly lemon trees), the community remained sleepy until the Crystal Pier was built in the late 1920s.
The town took off after World War II when San Diego’s military presence boosted PB’s profile and population. Today, 42,876 people call PB home and the median home price is $815,000.
