Mt Calavera & Carlsbad  

The Luiseno Indians lived on the coast of Carlsbad back in the late 1700s-they lived on seafood, food crops and reportedly led peaceful lives-they worshipped the Great Spirit, the Sun-God. They currently live on a reservation near Palomar Mountain approximately 60 miles away. The area changed hands when the Spanish arrived. In 1886, the town of Carlsbad was established after the artesian wells were found and the Carlsbad Land & Water Company purchased the land.

Today, Carlsbad is rich with history and has a distinctive mix of homes, parks and many businesses. It was known as the Avocado Capital in the 1920s and the Flower Capital in the 1940s.
