Editing Tijuana (section)

==Name==
The city's name comes from the [[Ranchos of California|rancho]] that [[Santiago Argüello]] Moraga established in 1829 on his Mexican land grant, naming it ''[[Rancho Tía Juana]]''.<ref name=parks>{{cite web |url=http://ohp.parks.ca.gov/pages/1054/files/sanysidro.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=1 March 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161228042549/http://www.ohp.parks.ca.gov/pages/1054/files/sanysidro.pdf |archive-date=28 December 2016 |url-status=live}}</ref>

The first Spanish mission referred to the settlement variously as ''Rancho Tía Juana'', ''Tihuan'' and finally, ''Tijuana''.<ref>[https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4316277 Una Corrida Extraordinaria] by Patrick Spaulding Ryan, ''SSRN Working Paper'', 31 December 2022</ref> While the city was founded as "Tijuana" in 1889, "Tia Juana" remained the English-language name for the river, as well as a U.S. settlement that is now part of [[San Ysidro, San Diego|San Ysidro]], until approximately 1916.<ref>Id.</ref>

The commonly accepted theory among historians is that ''Tía Juana'', as Argüello named his rancho, is derived from the word {{lang|dih|Tiwan}} ("by the sea") in the [[Kumeyaay language|language of the Kumeyaay]]—the First Nations people of the San Diego-Tijuana region. Urban legend, on the other hand, states that ''Tía Juana'', which means "Aunt Jane" in Spanish, was a real person whose inn provided food and lodging to travelers. There is, however, no record of such an inn; in fact, the first building in the area was built by Argüello in any case, after naming his ranch Rancho Tía Juana.<ref name="Niemann2002">{{cite book|author=Greg Niemann|title=Baja Legends: The Historic Characters, Events, and Locations That Put Baja California on the Map|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=35WQOduN1F4C&pg=PA61|year=2002|publisher=Sunbelt Publications, Inc.|isbn=978-0-932653-47-5|pages=61–|access-date=1 March 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190331130249/https://books.google.com/books?id=35WQOduN1F4C&pg=PA61|archive-date=31 March 2019|url-status=live}}</ref>
