(Pioneer Room Postcard Collection)
“Civic Center looking down Grand Ave. Escondido, California.”
Until 1885 Rincon del Diablo was operated as a ranch.
During the great land boom new owners subdivided the valley
in the center of the old Rancho, and laid out the town of
Escondido - a Spanish name for Hidden Valley.
