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 in May 2024. It is recognized as the focal point for the planning and development of La Jolla between 1887 and 1940. The district, which includes La Jolla Cove and the Children’s Pool, is one of the most popular visitor attractions in Southern California.
