"The earliest indications of people living in San Diego date back 9,000 years. They called themselves Kumeyaay. When the Spaniards arrived, they used the word Diegueño to identify the Indians associated with the Mission. In 1542 explorer Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo reported that the native Indians, "were good natured and an attractive people." With the arrival of the Spanish settlements in 1769, many Kumeyaay retreated to the hills."
