from/born in/native of


Explanation:
There are various ways to naturalize it, depends on what comes next in the sentence: He is from Valencia, born on July 2nd. OR He was born July 2nd in Valencia. OR A native of Valencia, he was born on July 2nd. (this is U.S. English)

Example sentence(s):
  • He is from Valencia, born on July 2nd
  • A native of Valencia, he was born on July 2nd
