| Portuguese
navigator Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo claimed the bay for Spain
in 1542. The site was named San Miguel by Cabrillo. On Nov. 12, 1602,
Don Sebastian de Viscaíno came ashore with his party on the
day of St. Didacus (San Diego in Spanish) and celebrated a mass in
the saint's honor. By coincidence, Viscaíno's flagship was
named San Diego. He renamed the place San Diego after the 15th-century
saint. |
