In early historic mission documents — primarily baptism, marriage, and death records — there are mentions of the city with the names: La Tía Juana,
Tiguana, Tiuana, Teguana, Tiwana, Tijuan, Ticuan, and the present day name, Tijuana.
Derived from wikipedia
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

This is So Amazing and Coincidental!
Just yesterday, we went to Carnitas Los Panchos in Rosarito.
There was a poster on the wall - an obviously handmade and loving compilation of family memories assembled from newspaper clippings and old photos.
It was too dark inside the restaurant to take a good picture, so I took note of what was on display.
From left-to-right, top-to-bottom:
1) Calleion Z, Antigua Vialodad de Tijuana.
2) Panaoramica de Tecate 1915.
3) Voluntarios circa de 1920.
4) La Celebracion circa de 1935.
5) Jesus Hoyas Cabalcada 1936 Primer en Tecate. Tambien como "Nino Pederio".
6} Petra Osuna 1929.
7) Desfile 1937.
I was overwhelmed by this painstaking tribute to a family history and I felt a great sense of disappointment that I couldn't take a good picture.
