The population was 57,065 at the 2010 census, up from 54,749 at the 2000 census. Its civic motto is "the Jewel of the Hills." HistoryLa Mesa in Spanish means "the table", or alternately "the plateau", relating to its geography.[7] La Mesa was part of a larger tract, Mission San Diego de Alcalá, and was used by Spanish Missionaries.[8] La Mesa was founded in 1869 and The City of La Mesa was incorporated on February 16, 1912, under the general laws of the state of California. As such, it does not have a city charter but operates under the laws of the state of California in all respects not specifically covered by any city ordinance. Its official flower is the bougainvillea.[1] GeographyLa Mesa is located at {{coord|32|46|17|N|117|1|22|W|type:city}} (32.771450, -117.022797).[9] It is bordered by the city of San Diego on the west and north, Spring Valley and Lemon Grove on the south, and El Cajon on the east. It includes the neighborhood of Grossmont. According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of {{convert|9.1|sqmi|km2}}. {{convert|9.1|sqmi|km2}} of it is land and {{convert|0.04|sqmi|km2}} of it (0.44%) is water. ClimateLa Mesa is approximately {{convert|12|mi|abbr=on}}) east of the Pacific Ocean. Because of this, La Mesa typically experiences more extreme temperatures than San Diego, which mostly lies significantly closer to the Pacific Ocean. La Mesa has a Semi-arid Steppe climate. La Mesa typically has hot, dry summers and warm winters with most of the annual precipitation falling between November and March. The city has dry weather with around 13" of annual precipitation. Summer temperatures are generally hot, with average highs of 78 °F-92 °F (26 °C–33 °C) and lows of 56 °F–68 °F (13 °C–20 °C). Winter temperatures are warm, with average high temperatures of 66 °F–77 °F (19 °C–25 °C) and lows of 46 °F–58 °F (8 °C–14 °C). The climate in the San Diego area, like much of California, often varies significantly over short geographical distances resulting in micro-climates. In San Diego's case, this is mainly due to the city's topography (the Bay, and the numerous hills, mountains, and canyons). Frequently, particularly during the "May gray/June gloom" period, a thick "marine layer" cloud cover will keep the air cool and damp within a few miles of the coast, but will yield to bright cloudless sunshine approximately {{convert|5|–|10|mi|km|0}} inland. This happens every year in May and June. Even in the absence of June gloom, inland areas tend to experience higher temperatures than areas closer to the coast. {{Weather box|location = La Mesa, California |single line = Y |Jan record high F = 90 |Feb record high F = 92 |Mar record high F = 96 |Apr record high F = 105 |May record high F = 100 |Jun record high F = 103 |Jul record high F = 106 |Aug record high F = 106 |Sep record high F = 109 |Oct record high F = 105 |Nov record high F = 97 |Dec record high F = 91 |Jan high F = 67.0 |Feb high F = 68.4 |Mar high F = 68.8 |Apr high F = 71.6 |May high F = 73.3 |Jun high F = 77.5 |Jul high F = 82.8 |Aug high F = 84.3 |Sep high F = 83.3 |Oct high F = 78.8 |Nov high F = 73.1 |Dec high F = 68.3 |Jan low F = 44.5 |Feb low F = 46.0 |Mar low F = 47.6 |Apr low F = 50.6 |May low F = 54.3 |Jun low F = 57.7 |Jul low F = 61.5 |Aug low F = 62.8 |Sep low F = 61.0 |Oct low F = 55.9 |Nov low F = 49.2 |Dec low F = 44.8 |Jan record low F = 26 |Feb record low F = 31 |Mar record low F = 34 |Apr record low F = 31 |May record low F = 41 |Jun record low F = 47 |Jul record low F = 46 |Aug record low F = 49 |Sep record low F = 45 |Oct record low F = 30 |Nov record low F = 30 |Dec record low F = 29 |Jan precipitation inch = 2.62 |Feb precipitation inch = 2.17 |Mar precipitation inch = 2.42 |Apr precipitation inch = 1.05 |May precipitation inch = 0.31 |Jun precipitation inch = 0.08 |Jul precipitation inch = 0.05 |Aug precipitation inch = 0.08 |Sep precipitation inch = 0.21 |Oct precipitation inch = 0.54 |Nov precipitation inch = 1.42 |Dec precipitation inch = 1.55 |source 1 = WRCC, Period of Record General Climate Summary Table[10] |date=February 2016 }} TransportationThe City of La Mesa is served by the San Diego Trolley's Orange Line at its stations in Spring Street, La Mesa Boulevard, Grossmont Transit Center, and Amaya Drive, the last two of which are also served by the Green Line.
