Santee’s landscape is a semi-arid valley along the San Diego River, edged by low hills, a setting that has shaped both its spread-out urban form and local economy. Incorporated in 1980, the city forms part of eastern San Diego County’s metropolitan area while retaining access to open-space corridors. Santee Lakes Recreation Preserve, operated by the Padre Dam Municipal Water District, is centred on seven man-made lakes. The Green Line of the San Diego Trolley terminates at Santee Town Center, connecting the city with central San Diego.
