Welcome to the City of Vista

Incorporated on January 28, 1963; Chartered on June 13, 2007

Located just seven miles inland from the Pacific Ocean in northern San Diego County, the City of Vista has a perfect mild Mediterranean climate. Over 96,000 residents enjoy a wide range of year-round outdoor activities in a setting of gentle rolling hills and pleasant rural surroundings.

With more than 25 educational institutions for Vista youth, and a business park home to over 800 companies, it is no wonder Vista has been named one of the "50 Fabulous Places to Raise Your Family."
