San Diego's "Panama California International Exposition" was held the year following San Francisco's "Panama-Pacific International Exposition." While both events celebrated the opening of the Panama Canal, both also had secondary purposes: San Francisco to showcase the city's resurrection from the ashes of the 1906 earthquake and fire; San Diego to showcase its fine seaport, the first US port of call to ships coming through the Canal.
