There are over 23,000 homes in the community, averaging 3.09 people per household. Mira Mesa has about 80,000 residents, including students, families, and single people. Several commercial and industrial centers have been built within the Mira Mesa area. īy the late-1990s, the Mira Mesa area had undergone extensive expansion to accommodate the thousands of new residents attracted by its proximity to major employers like the University of California, San Diego, Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, Qualcomm, and dozens of biotech and pharmaceutical companies. Mira Mesa was the northernmost 'real community' of San Diego, and was separated from the rest of the city by NAS Miramar for many years. Since its inception, Mira Mesa was largely influenced by the military located at the adjacent NAS Miramar. In 1971 Pete Wilson started his political career running for mayor with the slogan 'No more Mira Mesas!' as a promise to stop quick, unplanned growth in San Diego. The area was built so quickly that it lacked schools, shopping centers, or other services for its thousands of residents. Hourglass Field became the site of San Diego Miramar College and Hourglass Field Community Park. This was one of the earliest areas of urban sprawl along the I-15 Corridor. Starting in 1969 there was a housing boom in the area that now extends from the I-15 freeway in the east to I-805 in the west and is approximately 10,500 acres (42 km 2). The Navy also used the surrounding area as a bombing range. Route 395 (now Interstate 15) was a Navy auxiliary landing field, known locally as Hourglass Field because the layout of the runways was a single piece of asphalt in the shape of an hourglass. Īfter Mexican independence, the land became part of the Rancho Santa Maria de Los Peñasquitos land grant to Francisco María Ruiz in 1823.Īround the time of World War II the area now called Mira Mesa was used by the United States Army as a test area. Prior to European settlement, Mira Mesa was inhabited by the Kumeyaay peoples who lived along Penasquitos Creek. Further information: Kumeyaay and Rancho Santa Maria de Los Peñasquitos
