It contains quiet, tree shaded neighborhood streets and <br />some of the oldest homes in San Marcos. The Belvin Street Historic District, the San <br />Antonio Street Historic Street, and the Dunbar Historic District three of San Marcos's <br />four historic districts, are in Sector One, as is one of the city's most well known tourist <br />attractions, Wonder World Park and its 30 million year old fault -line cave.
