Presidio Park is a city historic park in San Diego, California. It is the site where the San Diego Presidio and the San Diego Mission, the first European settlements in what is now the Western United States, were founded in 1769. In 1773 the mission moved a few miles upriver while the fort remained on Presidio Hill. The presidio had been established to protect against Indian attacks or foreign invasions. As the need for such protection disappeared, people preferred to live in Old Town at the foot of the hill, and the fort was gradually abandoned. It was in ruins by 1835.In 1907 George Marston, a wealthy department store owner and civic leader, bought Presidio Hill with the aim of preserving the historic site. Unable to attract city funding, Marston built a private park (planned by architect John Nolan) including the Serra Museum (designed by architect William Templeton Johnson) in 1925. Marston donated the park to the city in 1929.The park encompasses about 40 acres (16 ha) and has views of the city, the San Diego River valley, and the Pacific Ocean. The grounds are open for picnics and play. The facilities can be used for weddings and other special events. The spot in the park where Junípero Serra planted a palm tree when he first arrived in 1769 was declared a California Historical Landmark. Otherwise, no historical structures remain in Presidio Park today. The site is occasionally used for archaeological excavations. A fenced-off area encloses the foundations of the chapel, walls, and other historical sites.

El Presidio Real de San Diego (Royal Presidio of San Diego) is a historic fort in San Diego, California. It was established on May 14, 1769, by Gaspar de Portolá, leader of the first European land exploration of Alta California - at that time an unexplored northwestern frontier area of New Spain. The presidio was the first permanent European settlement on the Pacific Coast of the present-day United States. As the first of the presidios and Spanish missions in California, it was the base of operations for the Spanish colonization of California. The associated Mission San Diego de Alcalá later moved a few miles away. Essentially abandoned by 1835, the site of the original Presidio lies on a hill within present-day Presidio Park, although no historic structures remain above ground. The San Diego Presidio was registered as a California Historical Landmark in 1932, then declared a National Historic Landmark in 1960.

Derby Dike is an Earthworks levee embankment built along the San Diego River in San Diego County, California, by Lieutenant George Derby in 1853. The Derby Dike is a California Historical Landmark No. 244 listed on June 10, 1936. The Derby Dike ran from Old Town San Diego to Point Loma, about 5 miles (8km). A California historical marker is at Taylor Street and Presidio Drive. Before the Derby Dike was built the San Diego River would often overflow its banks and flood parts of Old Town, San Diego and San Diego, California. The other problem was the river would flood San Diego harbor with debris. Lieutenant George Horatio Derby with the United States Army Corps of Topographical Engineers had the Derby Dike built so the river would flow into False Bay, now called Mission Bay, rather than into the at San Diego Bay's harbor. This was one of the first major US Government projects in California. While the Derby Dike helped with the flooding and debris flow into the Harbor, there were still major floods that overwhelm the Derby Dike. A major flood in 1853 destroyed parts of the Derby Dike, and the San Diego River flowed back ino the harbor. By 1875, the Derby Dike was repaired and the river was flowing back into False Bay. A major flood in 1884 again destroyed parts of the Derby Dike, and was repaired again. The Sweetwater Dam was built in 1888 to help stop the flooding problem. Six other dams were built on San Diego River, the last in 1898. The San Diego River was not fullly contained til the 1950s. The largest dam on the river is the El Capitan Dam completed in 1934 that is 27 miles up river from Old Town, San Diego.Derby-Pendleton House was constructed in 1851 by Lieutenant George Horatio Derby.
