History of North County San Diego | |
North County San Diego has been an auspicious area for centuries. Each of its cities holds its own rich history and personality that offers people from all walks of life a chance to settle down in the kind of community they always dreamed of. What all the cities share, however, are the awe-inspiring natural surroundings that has inspired everyone who ever arrived here. The history of North County is of a Pastoral nature, as Spanish farmers made their mark here in the mid 18th century and found the land to be ideal for raising animals and growing crops. Before this, Kumeyeey and Luiseno Indians occupied the land as far back as 10,000 years ago. Archaeological digs carried out in the area confirm that the Indians used a particularly fertile area of land for their everyday life that also included a great deal of farming. When the Mexican government - after being under control of Spain for generations – became self-regulating, the agricultural traditions in North County began to dwindle. By the time California was in American hands, the once vibrant farming culture had nearly ceased to exist. Today things have changed, but the history of North County is still felt throughout. Cities like Encinitas, for example, still have an active agricultural industry. Through heritage museums and historical reenactments, the traditions of the 17th and 18th centuries are still kept alive. In 1995, local historians even formed an association to bring back focus to the area’s history to local residents and keep it relevant. Despite the strides in development in the North County San Diego real estate market, current residents in North County San Diego are especially proud of their homes and communities that reflect its complex and deep-rooted history.
