About Carlsbad

With a population of 120,000 (2016), Carlsbad is California's 59th largest city.  "The Village by the Sea" is a famous tourist destination.  The city's recorded history begins with the arrival of the Spanish in 1769.  After the exodus of the Spanish in 1850 with the US win of the Mexican war, a sailor man named John Frazier dug a well and sold water at the train station.  Frazier dug a second well and the "lab" testing showed that it was chemically similar to the famous Spa in Karlsbad of the Czech republic.

It was the water business that first put Carlsbad on the map.  With clever marketing, the visitors came.  Meanwhile, fantastic crops of citrus, avocados and olives added to create an exotic Mediterranean realm.  Agriculture would always be Carlsbad's ace in the hole when the economy turned sour.  You could farm and you could eat.  Something unfortunately most cities cannot claim.

"Carlsbad has great beaches which are frequented by people of all ages. There are many bars and restaurants in an area called the Village, along Carlsbad Village Drive.  There are two community colleges within fifteen miles of Carlsbad with many offerings."  - Blogger Jeff, who loves his hometown
