About National City, California
National City is a city in the South Bay region of southwestern San Diego County, California, United States. Human presence within the modern National City may have begun as early as 130,000 years ago, as allegedly evidenced at the Cerutti Mastodon site. Archaic period sites have been found along Sweetwater River which runs through the city limits of modern-day National City. The National City Mile of Cars is recognized as one of the first "auto malls" in the world. (Wikipedia)
