Encinitas Overview
Encinitas is on the Pacific coast in North County, San Diego, California. Sixty thousand people live in this sunny coastal paradise with some of the best surfing in the world. Encinitas isn't just for surfers, though. It has a century-old shopping district, famous botanical gardens, gorgeous hikes, delicious food, and entertainment for everyone.
What is the history of Encinitas?
There's a rich history running through the entire coastal region. Native Americans lived here 10,000 years before the Spanish invasion in 1769. The Spanish monarchy enlisted natives to help build 21 Spanish missions, which ultimately became known as El Camino Real Road (the royal road). Today, the missions run along Interstate 5. American settlers started arriving in 1875, and little coastal towns began to appear. Over a century later, in 1986, New Encinitas, Old Encinitas, Cardiff-by-the-Sea, Olivenhain, and Leucadia incorporated to become what is today, Encinitas.
