San Diego county real estate
City: Julian
Julian was founded following the Civil War, when displaced Confederate
Veterans from Georgia headed West to seek their fortunes in a
new, mostly unsettled land. Among these were cousins Drue Bailey
and Mike Julian, who found a lush meadow between Volcan Mountain
and the Cuyamacas to their liking. They were there in 1869 when
cattleman Fred Coleman found the first flecks of gold in a creek.
It was San Diego County's first and only gold rush.
The town was named Julian, in honor of Mike, who later was elected
San Diego County Assessor. The town was never big, at the most
boasting a population of about 600---more than reside within the
historic district today. Rumor has it that Julian almost became
San Diego's county seat.
The gold rush was short-lived, nearly over within a decade. But
the pioneers stayed and began farming the rich land. While many
crops were planted and animals pastured, Julian proved to be a
fine place to grow apples. Apples continue to be produced in Julian.
Their sweet, fresh flavor lures thousands to the mountains each
fall, when visitors will find fruit stands overflowing with crisp
fruit, homemade cider and other delicacies.
