Daley Ranch covers a little over 3,000 acres on the North side of Escondido. It was settled in 1870 by Robert Daley who moved here from San Fransisco. Daley ran a horse and cattle ranch until he died in 1916, then his family sold the ranch and moved to Jamul and started a dairy ranch. Daley Const co who used to be in Murphy Canyon has there roots in Jamul.
The Daily family continued to use the property as a summer home until 1980 when they sold it to Mobil oil. Mobil later sold it to Shea Homes in 1990 who in turn sold it to the City of Escondido in 1997.
I've hiked in that area years agos but never made it to this spot. I must of took the wrong trial.
ReplyDeleteI want to go hiking up there now. That is so cool.
