The La Jolla Historical Society and La Jolla Parks & Beaches, Inc nominates the La Jolla Park Coastal Historic District for an award from 2024 SOHO’s People in Preservation. Diane Kane (pictured) is a LJPB Director and local historian, and gave a presentation on the new Historic District at the recent LJPB regular meeting on May 20, 2024.
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.
