The Community of El Cajon
The El Cajon valley nestles below the San Diego
foothills and its name means "big box". The friars at
San Diego Mission used this geography to their advantage to pasture
their cattle. The hills kept the cattle from wandering and provided
watershed.
After the missions were secularized, the valley
land was given to Dona Maria Antonio Estudillo, wife of Don Miguel
de Pedrorena
to fulfill a debt of the government. That grant included the
area that eventually developed into Santee, Bostonia, Glenview,
Johnstown,
El Cajon and part of Grossmont.
Today, El Cajon is a vibrant community with
a variety of art galleries, photography studios, shopping and restaurants.
It
is home to the
East County Performing Arts Center. The downtown area recently
received a National Main Street Certification and has also
received that designation from California.
The city started the Mother Goose Parade, held
on the Sunday before Thanksgiving, over 50 years ago and it has
grown into
the largest
parade in San Diego County and one of the biggest parades
in the country.
