Commandants of the Presidio of San Diego

Alcades of the Pueblo of San Diego

San Diego became a pueblo in 1834, after a petition to Governor José Figueroa endorsed by Commandant Santiago Arguello. The first Alcade (mayor) Juan María Osuna was elected, defeating Pío Pico by 13 votes. By 1838, the population shrank enough to lose its pueblo status and was ruled by a Juez de Paz as a partition of the Los Angeles District until San Diego was incorporated as a city under U.S. rule.

The following are the Juez de Paz and Alcades (Justices of the Peace and Mayors) of San Diego. In this table "suplente" means substitute.
