National City and San Diego County are home to the Kumeyaay people. The Kumeyaay people generally include the Diegueno, Tapai, Ipai and other tribes. When the Spaniards arrived in 1769 there were nearly 20,000 Kumeyaay natives living in San Diego County.
National City sits on part of the old Spanish land grant called Rancho del Rey, which translates to the Ranch of the King. Rancho del Rey was established by the Spaniards in 1795, was 26,631 acres and used for cattle grazing, In 1821, when Mexico declared their Independence from Spain, it changed the name to Rancho de la Nacion, which means Ranch of the Nation. In 1848, when California became part of the United States pursuant to the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, the residents referred to the area as the National Ranch.
