History: 
Oceanside’s original land grant was 161 acres given to the city’s founder, Andrew Jackson Myers in 1883. The formal incorporation of Oceanside occurred on July 3rd, though the city was originally settled by Native American even before 1769 which was when Spaniards from Europe arrived.  Myers named the city because California residents loved to go to coast or “the ocean side” as the area was often referred. In the 1890s the city’s first large residential area was built in the downtown area. During World War II in 1942 Camp Pendleton came to be.
