History & History Related Items

Escondido history:

Escondido means hidden in Spanish. The Luiseno tribe lived in the area and named it "Mehel-om-pom-pavo. Another local tribe was the Kumeyaay. Spain gained control of the land from the late 1700's to the early 1800's. This was the time of the missions in California and the influence here was strong. Mexico became independent from Spain and this area was divided into large ranchos which were deeded out to various families. During the mid-1800's, there was a proposal to divide California into two parts - the existing state of California and the new territory of Colorado. A local judge felt the capitol of the the new territory would be Rancho San Bernardo, which was one of the large ranchos in the Escondido area. Judge Witherby owned much land in the area and had great plans for the new territory once it was created. Though the proposal passed in the California legistature, it did not make it through Congress. In 1861, congress organized the territory of Colorado in the area that the state of Colorado is now located. Judge Witherby's plans would not be happening, so he re-grouped and started mining instead.

By the 1880's, many new settlers had come into the Escondido area, especially with the Southern California Land boom that happened around that time. The large ranchos continued to be sold and divided over the years. Also during this time, the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific railroad came through the area, and Escondido was incorporated in 1888. The area was mainly agricultural for many years. Grapes were one of the first main crops. Later, as more water became available through the creation of Lake Wohlford, citrus groves were planted as well as olive and walnuts trees. Gradually, avocado groves took over as the prevalent crop.
