Neighborhood ProfileNational City Real Estate![]() The Spanish Land Grant, El Rancho de la Nacion, was purchased by Frank, Warren and Levi Kimball in 1868. The Kimball brothers cleared the lands, built roads, constructed the City's first wharf and brought the railroad to the City. They successfully advertised National City as the most healthful climate on earth. Soon tree-lined streets connected graceful Victorian homes, and orchards flourished over rolling hills. National City, San Diego County’s second oldest city,is truly “In the center of it all:” a thriving bi-national region of 5 million consumers.
