Oceanside, California is considered the third-largest city in San Diego County, California. The city has a population of approximately 179,681 habitants; when combined together with  the two close by neighboring towns of Carlsbad and Vista, it forms a "tri-city region." The city is located just south of where the Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, the busiest military base in the United States, begins.  Oceanside has, in its recent past, endured dramatic growth since the early 1970's, when its population of inhabitants was approximately 45,000.  A good chunck of the city's area was developed into single-family home tracts during the 1970s and 1980s; and, since the 1990s, an increase of industrial and commercial development have diversified Oceanside's economic base as a whole.  During the 1900's, the town of  Oceanside, California was a "beach town" devoted to out-door beach activities on a 6-mile (9.7 km) stretch of beaches. Residential areas like the downtown area (built in the 1890s), South Oceanside (built in the 1920s and 1930s), and developments east of Interstate 5 (built after World War II), are preserved and remodeled when these houses are considered to have historical significance and value.  Since the Federal U.S. government created the Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton in 1942, Oceanside has been home to the U.S. armed forces personnel, and played a major role in the wartime industry of World War II,.  In the 1950s , it also had an ammunition manufacturing facility in the city.  After the year 1970, the main focus of Oceanside was suburban development to attract homeowners to then relatively affordable housing.
