What City Is 1,000 Miles East of San Diego?

There are cities roughly 1,000 miles east of San Diego — the original answer was incorrect.

Calculating the Radius

San Diego (32.7° N, 117.2° W). A 1,000-mile (1,609 km) great-circle radius eastward reaches:

  • Texas: San Antonio (~1,030 mi), Austin (~1,010 mi), Corpus Christi (~1,050 mi)
  • New Mexico: Albuquerque (~650 mi — too close), Las Cruces (~780 mi)
  • Oklahoma: Oklahoma City (~1,150 mi)
  • Louisiana: Shreveport (~1,200 mi)

Closest Major City to 1,000 Miles Due East

San Antonio, Texas is the nearest major metro to the 1,000-mile-east mark.

Why the Confusion?

Jacksonville, FL is ~2,400 miles east — the furthest east in the contiguous US, not the 1,000-mile point. The original answer conflated "furthest east" with "1,000 miles east."
