The City of Vista, incorporated in 1963, derives its name from the Spanish word for "view". Located just seven miles from the Pacific Ocean, encompassing 18 square miles of beautiful rolling hills and valleys, Vista offers its residents a unique environment in which to live. Vista is also known for its ideal climate with an average year round temperature of 74 degrees.

Located in south Vista is a 1,200-acre industrial and light manufacturing Business Park, which began development in the early 1990s. To date, the Vista Business Park is home to more than 600 firms employing over 17,000 of the City's nearly 40,000 workers. The City's cultural and recreational resources, which attract visitors from all over San Diego County, includes live theater in downtown Vista's Avo Playhouse, a 2,000-seat Moonlight Ampitheater located within the 85-acre Brengle Terrace Park, and the fun-filled Wave Waterpark.

Four Schools within the Vista Unified School District are the proud recipients of the California Distinguished Schools Award. The District is justly proud to have both of its comprehensive high schools, one of its middle schools, and one of its K-8 magnet schools recognized throughout the state and nation as exemplary schools. Law enforcement services are provided by the San Diego County Sheriff's Department. They utilize a progressive Community-Oriented Policing approach which has resulted in a steady decline of the crime rate to 1991 levels.
