Abstract
The “La Jolla Park Coastal Historic District,” a dramatic stretch of coastline that is part of the unceded ancient homeland and traditional territory of the Kumeyaay Nation, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 9, 2024. The coastal area, anchored by Ellen Browning Scripps Park, was the focal point for La Jolla’s planning and development between 1887 and 1940.
Authorized by the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, the National Park Service’s National Register of Historic Places is part of a national program to coordinate and support public and private efforts to identify, evaluate, and protect America’s historic and archeological resources. The La Jolla Coastal Historic District is the first nationally recognized district in La Jolla, and one of only twenty-six in San Diego County. It is also listed on the California Register of Historic Resources. Some individual features are also listed on the City of San Diego Register of Historic Resources.
