Profile of La Jolla
|
•
There are theories linking the
origin of the name, "La Jolla" to the Spanish word, "la
joya" which means the jewel, and to the Indian word for "cave".
The community of La Jolla lies within the boundaries of the City
of San Diego, but it's location 14 miles north of downtown San Diego
and population of about 38,000, has helped it establish it's own
identity as a small town refuge from the big city. • If you are considering a move to La Jolla, here are the local community resources which will make it easier to set up your new residence. |

| La Jolla History | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| • La Jolla was one of the earliest colonies in the San Diego area in the early 1800's. In 1886, Frank Terrill Botsford, referred to as the "father" of La Jolla, purchased the chaparral and sage covered land, without realizing it would be very difficult to find a good, reliable source of drinking water. He decided to sell, and a great auction was held. The La Jolla land sold for what amounted to $1.25 an acre- land which would be more than $1.25 million an acre today. | • Ellen Browning Scripps, newspaper heiress, was one of the most outstanding citizens, and the woman who began la Jolla's "herstory". Her gifts to La Jolla include: The Scripps Institute of Oceanography, the Women's Club, the Children's Pool, the Recreation Center, and endowments used to create Scripp's Hospital and Clinic. The La Jolla Museum of Contemporary Art is located in her home. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
