In Spanish, the name “Escondido” means “hidden”, because of its location in a valley surrounded by hills. Originally, it was referred to as a hidden treasure, which makes sense, and anyone that lives here would agree. Long before Spanish explorers settled in this area, what is now the city of Escondido was occupied by the native people of this region, the Luiseno tribe. Other local tribes came through this area as well. When the late 1700s came around, the Spain took control of the area, pushing the natives out and establishing missions and rancheros. After the Mexican-American war, however, this land was won by the United States in the mid 1800s.
