Balboa Park in San Diego was named in honor of the Spanish explorer Vasco Núñez de Balboa, who is known for being the first European to see the Pacific Ocean from the New World. The park was established in 1868 and was originally called "City Park," but it was renamed in 1915 during the Panama-California Exposition to reflect its connection to the Pacific and its significance in exploration history. The name signifies a celebration of exploration and cultural heritage.
