Chula Vista BackgroundIn the late 1800s, the area near modern-day Chula Vista was sold to a group of developers who sought to build small cities and farms on the vast ranch land. Chula Vista was named by a resident after a Spanish phrase roughly translated as "beautiful view."In 1888, Sweetwater Dam was completed to bring water to Chula Vista. Area farmers discovered that citrus trees were the most successful crop for the area, and Chula Vista soon became the Lemon Capital of the nation. Today, Chula Vista has a small orchard and farming area, but the major industries are aerospace and trechnology. Because of the city's proximity to the border, several businesses operate plants in Mexico and keep their corporate headquarters in Chula Vista.
