Overview
studded with orange trees and grapevines,” the Hammond family arrived
in Encinitas in 1883 only to find that advertisements had rather overstated
the case. Undeterred, these 11 English settlers remained and, in doing so,
doubled the town’s population overnight. Subsequent pioneers brought
wide-ranging talents to this fledgling California coastal town—none more
so than the Ecke dynasty, whose flower fields established Encinitas as the
poinsettia capital of the world. Today, the city encompasses five distinct
communities, and while it boasts many famous celebrities, it is the ordinary
folk whose passion and daring have made Encinitas the place their forebears
long ago envisaged.
