Balboa Park began in 1868 when San Diegos civic leaders dedicated 1,400 prime acres to create an urban oasis. Originally the land, crisscrossed with canyons and dominated by native scrub, was called simply City Park. In later years, Balboa Park hosted two successful world expositions: the 19151916 Panama-California Exposition and the 19351936 California Pacific International Exposition.
