Balboa Park History
2123 Fenton Parkway, San Diego, 92108
Join historian Nancy Carol Carter to learn about Balboa Park’s early history, including why 2015 is not the centennial of Balboa Park, how Balboa Park got its name, and how the 1915 Panama-California Exposition changed the park forever.
Discover the park’s history from its establishment in 1868 up to the exposition -- a turbulent period when the park was under threat from real estate developers and schemes to take its land for other uses.
