Mira Mesa is a suburban community in the northern part of the city of San Diego with many qualities of a small town. Mira Mesa is San Diego�s largest suburb; with over 75;000 residents; stretching from Marine Corps Air Station Miramar on the south to Los Pe�asquitos Canyon Preserve on the north; and from I-15 on the east to I-805 on the west. When rapid growth in the early 1970s transformed the mesa from rocks and rattlesnakes to tract homes; there were no schools; parks; or other facilities; not even a grocery store. Residents held rallies and marches; and the first schools in Mira Mesa were created inside houses leased from developers. Mira Mesa today is a happily multiethnic community that includes schools; parks; a library; industrial and retail centers; and several supermarkets.
