Santee, incorporated December 1980, is entering its 20th year as a municipality. With a population of 57,000 and located in eastern San Diego County, the City is the tenth largest of San Diego County's 18 cities. With approximately half of its land undeveloped, the City is one of the few cities in the county with space to grow.
Nestled between gently rolling hills and located near several refreshing lakes, the City offers the comfortable convenience of urban living with the serenity and safety of the country. A dedicated City Council and thoughtful City government have taken steps to preserve the community's natural identity. Sound government practices and a strong financial base ensure a bright future for Santee.
