South San Diego is a district in San Diego, California, within a larger region known as the South Bay. ==History== Before the arrival of the Spanish explorers, area of South San Diego was largely inhabited by the Diegueño people. The Diegueño, also known as the Kumeyaay, traveled the region this is evidenced by the shallow depressions in boulders that were used for grinding acorn into meal, that are found throughout the area. John J. Montgomery achieved the first controlled flight with a heavier-than-air flying machine in the United States when he successfully flew three glider aircraft designed in the period 1883-1886 from Otay Mesa. A monument to his historic flights is known as Silver Wing Park, located on Coronado Avenue, just east of Beyer Boulevard.〔Harwood, Craig S. and Fogel, Gary B. ''Quest for Flight: John J. Montgomery and the Dawn of Aviation in the West,'' University of Oklahoma Press 2012.〕 The Interstate 5 freeway in this region was later named the John J. Montgomery Freeway in his honor. In 1957, the area comprising South San Diego was annexed by San Diego from San Diego County. On July 18, 1984, in an event known as the San Ysidro McDonald's massacre, James Oliver Huberty, a 41-year-old former welder from Canton, Ohio, committed a mass-murder of 21 people inside of a McDonalds restaurant in San Ysidro. The McDonalds site was razed in 1985. The site is now home to a Southwestern College satellite campus.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://www.nctimes.com/articles/2004/07/18/news/top_stories/16_42_237_17_04.txt )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「South San Diego」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
