History

The earliest community was believed to be inhabited by the Palamai people, not far from the Agua Hedionda Lagoon. The Palamai greeted Spanish explorers who first arrived in 1769. A community called Frazier's Station preceded modern-day Carlsbad. It developed around a stop along the rail line that was established here in the mid-1800s. Spring-fed wells were determined to contain a mineral content similar to that found at a spa in Karlsbad, Germany. Carlsbad soon became known for its spas, and later, for its agricultural opportunity. By the early 1900s, fruit trees and olive trees were growing across the area.
