La Jolla, with a population of about 29,000, is a small beachfront community within the City of San Diego that has become one of California’s most popular resort towns.

La Jolla Facts
La Jolla is part of the City of San Diego, however it maintains its own postal identity with the zip code 92037. It is located on the Pacific Ocean, 14 miles North of downtown San Diego and the Lindberg Field International Airport. The population of the 92037 area is 42,000. The community planning area of La Jolla does not include all of that area. For planning purposes the community
consists of approximately 5,718 acres. Visually dramatic, La Jolla is defined by its rugged coastline of ocean bluffs, sea
caves, and beaches. Steep canyons and hillsides culminate at the highest point, the scenic outlook on Mount Soledad the site of a World War II memorial. Some say the name La Jolla was derived from the Native American name for “Cave”. Artifacts found in the area indicate the presence of the Cahuilla tribe in a settlement near the shores over 3000 years ago. Others contend that it is a
version of “la joya” the Spanish name for jewel. Until the mid twentieth century, small, single-family summer cottages that were
located along the coastline or interspersed within “the village” characterized La Jolla. The boundaries of the village, which most residents refer to, are Prospect Street, Girard Avenue and Torrey Pines Road to Pearl Street and La Jolla Boulevard. Today the village area is mostly commercial-merchants, banks, shops and offices.
Since the establishment of the University of California at San Diego campus in La Jolla in 1966, the community experienced substantial growth and land development. Currently the city estimates that La Jolla is 99% built out, so that remaining development is infill. The village has become more cosmopolitan but retains a friendly resort atmosphere. In the summer the thoroughbreds are racing at Del Mar Racetrack, the beaches are heavily utilized and parking can be a problem; but the village area is easy walking, casual and friendly. Many art galleries and specialty shops are located in La Jolla including the San
Diego Museum of Contemporary Art at 700 Prospect Street. The Scripps Institution of Oceanography is located in La Jolla. It operates the nationally recognized Stephen Birch Aquarium.
Identity
La Jolla residents and business owners sometimes refer to the “city”, “village,” or “town” of La Jolla. Although the name is sometimes said to mean “the jewel” (from the Spanish “la joya”), it is actually derived from a Native American tribe, the La Jolla band of Luiseno Indians, which inhabited the area for centuries before the arrival of the Spanish. The U.S. Postal Service has designated “La Jolla” as the only acceptable place name for use in mailing addresses for the ZIP Codes covering the area, even though such addresses lie within the San Diego city limits. These conventions can give the impression that La Jolla is a
separate incorporated city, even though it is part of the City of San Diego. La Jolla has several community groups which work to unify the voice of the community. The La Jolla Community Planning Association advises the City Council, Planning Commission, City Planning Department as well as other Governmental agency as appropriate in the initial preparation, adoption of, implementation of, or amendment to the General or Community Plan as it pertains to the La Jolla area. The non-profit La Jolla Town Council organization represents the interests of the La Jolla businesses that belong to the Council. Additionally, a group that calls itself Independent La Jolla was formed in 2004 to advocate for the secession of La Jolla from the City of San Diego.
