La Mesa, Residential city in San Diego County, United States.
The city stands at an elevation of 161 meters in the eastern region of San Diego County, featuring tree-lined neighborhoods and commercial districts.
The land that became La Mesa was purchased by Robert Allison in 1868, and the natural springs on the property shaped the early development of the settlement.
La Mesa maintains a weekly farmers market in the village area, where local vendors present produce and goods to strengthen community connections.
