Description

Remember these old luggage carts and vintage suitcases? The old National City Depot train station, a Nationally Registered Historic Place near the historic Kimball Block in National City, located in the South Bay region of the San Diego metropolitan area, in southwestern San Diego County, California. Frank Kimball brought the Santa Fe Railroad to San Diego, with its first terminus in National City. Frank Kimball first brought novelty and change to the area by building his personal residence. His home included a bathtub as well as hot, running water, making it the first modern house in the entire county. However, it was more than his personal innovative endeavors that allowed the region to flourish. By constructing the first roads and railroad in what is now National City, Frank and his brothers helped introduce modern transportation to residents, The brothers also implemented the area's first post office and a wharf for sea born commerce.
