Over the past few weeks, I've shared the charms of my hometown, Ramona. This week, our focus is on Poway, California, another delightful city located in San Diego County. Whether you'd like to hike one of 30 spectacular trails, or see a Broadway musical in the Poway Center for the Performing Arts, Poway has something for just about everyone. Old Poway Park offers weekend train rides, a farmers' market, 
old-fashioned shops, and a museum. Other places you might be interested in visiting in Poway include the Bernardo Winery, Stoneridge Country Club, Rancho Del Suen, and Warren Ranch. Poway also offers residents proximity to the major metropolitan amenities offered by neighboring San Diego, such as museums, theater, the San Diego Zoo, Sea World, and professional sporting events.
Artifacts found along the bed of Poway Creek indicate an early Diegueño presence in the area. Poway's contemporary history began in the late 18th century, when priests from the Mission San Diego de Alcala kept cattle in the valley. When water came to the town, people came, as well. In 1957, following the sewer system's completion, developers built housing tracts, and modern Poway grew from there. Although Poway lies geographically in the middle of San Diego County, most consider its relative location as north county inland. Poway's rural roots gave rise to its slogan, "The City in the Country."
Conveniently located in the center of San Diego County, Poway enjoys a sunny climate, clean air, a pristine lake, and ecological reserves. Poway has carefully planned for balancing growth, offering an ideal place in which to prosper. A family-oriented community, Poway offers a wide variety of housing, shopping and recreation opportunities.
Poway officially became a city in December 1980. With a median resident age of 37 years, Poway is home to approximately 50,542 people. The city prides itself on the fact that over half of the City’s 39.4 
square-mile area is preserved as dedicated open space. Since 1981, Poway has had the lowest overall crime rates of the cities in San Diego County, and one of the overall lowest in the state. Poway has a high standard of living and is characterized as an upper middle class community with a median family income of $78,000.
Poway is ranked the sixth best city in California in which to locate a business, according to Outlook Magazine. Poway maintains its business excellence with a state-of-the-art Poway Business Park, a 700-acre complex, which encompasses the City's main commercial area.
