Del Mar was named by a woman named
Ella Loop who lived by the beach with her husband, Theodore. They owned
an area there they called Del Mar.They came to the area in 1882. Jacob
Taylor began to sell homesites here about the same time, calling his
area Casa Del Mar with much interest being generated. He had high hopes
for his resort, but it only survived a few years before closing. Soon
residential areas began to develop but it wasn't until the 1920's that
Del Mar began to thrive. The arrival of electricity at that time worked
its magic and development took off at record pace. the resident agreed
to incorporate in 1959. They wanted to remain independent rather than
become part of the city of San Diego. |
