Numerical Initials: XVXX and 1520
OLD TOWN NATIONAL CITY gets its name due to the fact that Ciudad Nacional is the second oldest City in the County, dating back to the late 1800s. Before the City was incorporated as NC, it formed part of the Older “Rancho de la NACION.” And even though the Varrio OTNC is much younger than the actual City, the name Old Town National City was already in popular use in the 1930s, a mere decade after the Mexican community (barrio) had settled in the area in good numbers.
OTNC is one of the biggest and oldest varrio’s of San Diego County and it is also considered to be the Oldest Varrio in NATIONAL CITY. Its reputation is well known all around and vatos from OTNC represent in most pintas. Some from OTNC ranks have even gone up the ladder all the way to the top, becoming full-fledged eMe members and even AFC associates.
NATIONAL CITY The Town is also home to one of the oldest and most renowned cruisin spots in the Southland. “HIGHLAND” Avenue, which at its peak in the 1980s was a mecca for cruisin’. The local SAN DIEGO/NATIONAL CITY crusin’ scene goes back to the 1940s when Pachucos rolled through the border towns in cutdown Chevrolets. Lowriders and cruisin grew in strength and numbers through the decades of the 50s and 60s, and reached a high point in the 1970s when cruisin to and from Chicano Park in Barrio Logan and down to N.C’s Highland Avenue was a must on weekends and occasions.
Old Town incorporates the National City part in its name and initials “always” and that’s because OTNC claims the City (Town) and not necessarily SOUTH BAY S.D. even though OTNC does ride in the South Bay car. But for the most part OTNC claims strictly “WEST SIDE NC.”
NATIONAL CITY, CHULA VISTA and IMPERIAL BEACH are their own cities and they’re not part of the City of San Diego, therefore OTNC does not claim “SOUTH SIDE S.D.” But OTNC is right dead smack in the middle/borderline between San Diego’s SOUTH BAY and San Diego's SOUTH EAST Side.
OTNC like all other legit Varrio’s from SOxCAL is part of the “SUR 13” camp.
OTNC also claims the biggest chunk of territory of all the National City Varrios. They claim the neighborhood from . . .
Borders: (But not restricted to)
(N) Division Street
(S) 18 Street, even as far as 24 Street
(W) I-5 Freeway
(E) Highland Avenue
Old Corazon del Barrio:
Between 4Th and 8Th Calles
With Coolidge, Roosevelt and Hoover Avenues.
What little remains of the Old Barrio is all in present times East of the I-5 Freeway. The rest fell under the freeway construction and another portion taken over by the Naval Station.
Cliques:
OTNC Varrio dates back to the 1940s and it is currently hitting on its sixth or seventh generation.
GTS GATOS
Another Veteranos Clique, but they do have some young recruits and are still represented.
MIDGETS a.k.a. ENANO BOYS "EBS"
OG HQ's at PALM and R Avenue.
Claim the area from 4TH Street, to
Palm Avenue, to Avenue R.
INSANES a.k.a. INSANE BOYS "IBS"
One of the most reputed and active cliques from OTNC in the 1990s and still going strong!
OG HQ's "E" Avenue Block
Claim the area around Avenue E, but in reality they’re all over the place.
ANTIGUOS a.k.a. OLDEN BOYS "OBS"
OG HQ's at HOOVER & 19Th "DEAD END"
Claim the Kimball Park neighborhood, and the turf west of 19 Street, plus the Hoover Avenue Dead End. OBS is said to the biggest and most active clique going hard in present times.
Both the Insanes and Oldens are the biggest cliques of OTNC but they seem to run separately as if each clique runs their own part of the neighborhood.
LATINOS a.k.a. LATINO BOYS
Mostly Brown Bro's HQ in Tj.
OTNC Varrio has been through out its history “a target” for placas and city gov to try and bust and break down. It has had a long history of police crackdowns culminating in the most recent injunctions placed on them of recent years to try and evict them from their birth grounds. But OTNC Raza persists and they ain’t going nowhere. If anything, all that PD & GOV has achieved is “spread” the Varrio around beyond its original terreno. Nowadays OTNC Homeboys are found all over the County and State, and although they may be far away from home, their love for their Varrio has no end.
OTNC will never end!
