About Miramar

Miramar is a neighborhood in the northern part of the city of San Diego, California, USA.

Although Miramar is mainly a commercial and light industrial area, many people live in Miramar. Most residents live on the Marine base MCAS Miramar (formerly Miramar Naval Air Station). Miramar was the site of the real TOPGUN made famous by the movie Top Gun in 1986. NAS Miramar was closed by the Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) program, then re-opened as a fixed wing and helicopter base for the Marines in the 1990s. To the north of MCAS Miramar is the suburb Mira Mesa.

The land on which MCAS Miramar sits has been eyed by the city of San Diego for years as a possible replacement to San Diego International Airport, but the city's location in the southwest corner of the United States makes it a very significant location for national defense purposes.

History

Miramar was originally part of Scripps Ranch, founded by Edward W. Scripps. He named his home he built on the ranch "Miramar" in the 1890s, after Archduke Maximilian's castle, Miramare, in Trieste, Italy. The name eventually became applied to the surrounding mesa. Loosely translated from Spanish it means "a view of the sea".

Before becoming a military base in 1950, Miramar was a small, isolated community centered around a railroad station. No buildings from the original Miramar survive.
