About La Jolla, California

La Jolla is a picturesque seaside neighborhood inside the boundaries of the city of San Diego, 12 miles north of downtown. The Etymology of ‘La Jolla’ has long been disputed. The general consensus is that the name is a Spanish transcription of  the native Kumeyaay people’s word for ‘land of holes’- likely named for the numerous sea-level caves in the area. An Estimated 40,000 residents call La Jolla home. 

In 1850, the year that California became a state, La Jolla was incorporated into the city of San Diego. Its expansion began in the 1890’s with the construction of the San Diego, Pacific Beach, and La Jolla railways. The area quickly became a resort destination for city residents who took a short train ride to enjoy local amenities such as a bathhouse and dance pavilion. 

Ellen Browning Scripps is perhaps the most famous resident of Jolla. Scripps moved to the community in 1896 where she lived for 35 years until her death. As a community member she commissioned several of La Jolla’s most notable and historic buildings and supported several philanthropic causes.

This small seaside enclave is home to several well known organizations and businesses including the Salk Institute, Scripps Research Institute, National University, and most notably the University of California, San Diego.

La Jolla attractions include the Sunny Jim Sea Cave, the Mount Soledad cross, Birch Aquarium at Scripps, and the Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve.
