San Clemente, California, is probably best known for one of its most famous resident, President 37 of the United States, Richard Nixon (1969-1974). Nixon bought Spanish hotel in the city in 1969, an event that suddenly the small community of fifteen square miles of coastline and picturesque hills of the center of world attention. When Nixon needed rest and relaxation, her favorite place was his ranch in southern California. You may have spent more time at Camp David in Maryland, as his five predecessors together, but that was mainly due to its proximity to Washington, DC He also organized several historic meetings at his home in Orange County, is known to cause as the "Western Whitehouse."
With an average of 342 sunny days a year, I might blame to President Nixon who wish to approach the beautiful San Clemente beaches, high cliffs, side view?
Surprisingly for a city as Sunshine, San Clemente, CA, was founded by the mayor 33rd Seattle, Washington, Ole Hanson (or perhaps not so strange, given Seattle has an average of 226 cloudy days a year). After Hanson ended up as mayor in 1919, he a failed attempt to become the first Republican vice presidential candidate-in 1920, and then headed to California. Tired of politics or rain or two Hanson acquired the land and designed a 2,000-acre community designed to resemble a Spanish village.
Hanson named the city after San Clemente Island, which in turn has been named by the explorer Vizcaino in 1602, after San Clemente, who was executed by being tied to an anchor and thrown into the sea, which is celebrated in the Church Roman Catholic 23 November, Vizcaino arrived on the island of San Clemente.
The city was officially named November 23, 1925, and officially founded December 6, 1925, the day Hanson erected a tent across from El Camino Real and Del March and organized a plan to sell parts of their community dream, one day that the climate of "best in the world" became rain and mud. Yet, everyone knows that in life some rain must fall, and end of the day, had sold more than 125,000 dollars in goods. In 15 months it had sold $ 3,100,000 and $ 4,600,000 more in less than two years. At the time of its formation, February 21, 1928, the city was considered the richest city per capita in the United States. Similarly, when Hanson was first presented his plan for Orange County Supervisory Board, have refused, because the concept of a planned community was too new and too strange for them an idea at the time!
Today, San Clemente has some of the finest beaches in California, community centers, libraries, miles of riding trails, a 1,200-foot Pier fishing, golf, tennis courts, parks, schools, businesses and some of the finest hotels and restaurants. The Center of San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, the Marine Corps at Camp Pendleton, and world famous beaches of navigation such as San Onofre State Beach and Park (home of Old Man's and Trestles), T Street, North Beach, San Clemente City Beach San Clemente State Beach and Calafia State Beach, San Clemente State Park and San Mateo State Park.
