A collision of cultures in a seaside resort community; Carlsbad sits on a seven-mile stretch of white-sands beach idyllically located on the Pacific coast of north county San Diego. The idea of Carlsbad began in the late 1880s when two small groups of entrepreneurs ascended; simultaneously; from both the north and the south. The first group discovered natural mineral springs; which they promoted to tourists as having healing powers. As a result; the town became a very popular resting point for the rich and famous when traveling by train from Los Angeles to the famed Del Mar horse races. Subsequently; the Mexican Revolution began to the south and drove a second group of visionaries to Carlsbad. Thus; the quaint downtown area; known as the Village; was created along with a vibrant Barrio. Incorporated in 1952; Carlsbad remains; today; a tight-knit community of multigenerational and uniquely talented locals.
