Lincoln Acres

Nestled as an unincorporated "County island" surrounded by the city of National City, Lincoln Acres is a small but distinct community in South San Diego County with a rich history and a unique character. Originally founded as a farming settlement during the Great Depression, the area has since evolved into a predominantly Mexican American community with a strong sense of cultural identity and a cherished small-town feel. Despite its compact size and location surrounded by a larger city, Lincoln Acres maintains its own identity, shaped by its historic roots, diverse population, and a strong community spirit that values its peaceful, residential character and the unique opportunity for a mix of urban and semi-rural living.
