Cabrillo National Monument is at the southern tip of the Point Loma Peninsula in San Diego, California. It commemorates the landing of Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo at San Diego Bay on September 28, 1542. This event marked the first time a European expedition had set foot on what later became the West Coast of the United States. The site was designated as California Historic Landmark #56 in 1932. As with all Historic units of the National Park Service, Cabrillo was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 15, 1966.
