The story of Serra Mesa begins, interestingly enough, with the Catholic Church and the King of Spain. The area was originally part of the Mission Rancho Lands of San Diego granted to the Catholic Church by the King of Spain. When Mexico overcame the Church in 1834, the land was deeded over to various men, including Don Santiago Arguello, who eventually divided and sold some 15,999 acres of land.
More modern development of the community began after the Korean War, when the Navy built its Cabrillo Heights housing project in the early 1950s. Today the community has a total population of approximately 24,000 people, with 8,374 housing units, most of them single family.
