History
At the end of the 18th century, Spanish Dominican missionaries and friars gave the name of El Rosario to an indigenous settlement in the area. The town was part of the mission of San Miguel Arcangel de la Frontera, located a few miles to the south. The mission was founded on March 28, 1787 by the Dominican friar Luis Sales on the banks of the San Juan Bautista stream.
Over time, the name of El Rosario became Rosarito. After the Mexican–American War and the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, the new Mexican border lay no more than 30 km (18.5 miles) from Rosarito. This brought the development of the Rancho de la Tia Juana, which eventually grew into the city of Tijuana, the region's development hub.
Playas de Rosarito means "beaches of Rosarito".
