History
Tijuana's history dates back to the early 19th century when it was a small settlement. It grew rapidly in the 20th century, especially during Prohibition, as Americans flocked to the city for entertainment and alcohol.
The city has faced challenges, including crime and economic fluctuations, but it continues to thrive as a cultural and economic hub. Its proximity to the United States has shaped its identity, making it a unique blend of two worlds.
