The panama-california exposition of 1915 was intended to celebrate the completion of the panama canal as well as mark the emergence of san diego as an international port and an american city on the rise. With its theme of human progress, the exposition followed in the footsteps of previous hsowcase events. Despite the intentions of the san diego boosters and exposition planners, however, plans for an international fair were dashed as a result of a competing fair in san francisco that deprived the panama-california exposition of both national and international support. Undaunted, the san diego exposition nad its supporters went forward with slightly altered plans. The result was a spectacular fair noted less for what was missing and more for its architecture, its reconstruction of san diego's central park area (renamed balboa park for the event), and for its successful run over a period of two years.
