El Cajon is Spanish for "The Box," which describes its valley location surrounded by mountains. El Cajon is San Diego's largest eastern city, accessible by Interstate 8 just east of La Mesa and south of Santee. El Cajon has witnessed incredible growth over the last few decades. It is home to busy Parkway Plaza mall, Gillespie Field Regional Airport, and the annual Mother Goose Parade.
