The Panama-California Exposition first opened on January 1, 1915 as a way to celebrate the opening of the Panama Canal and San Diego's role as the first port of call for ships traveling north after passing westward through the canal. The exposition, while originally intended to last for one year, received an extension for another year. The exposition was aptly renamed the Panama-California International Exposition for 1916 when it added international vendors. The exposition closed on January 1, 1917.. Book.
