Rancho Santa Fe, California
Encyclopedia
Rancho Santa Fe known locally as ″The Ranch″, is one of the most exclusive and affluent communities in Southern California. It is also a census-designated place
(CDP) in San Diego County, California
and an unincorporated bedroom community of San Diego
County. At $245,631, it is one of the highest income communities in the United States with at least 1,000 households. The population was 3,117 at the 2010 census, down from 3,252 at the 2000 census
.The CDP is primarily residential with one shopping avenue as well as several private schools, and single family residential areas situated on uncommonly large lots.
Rancho Santa Fe has many strict architectural design codes as can be exemplified by several attempts from local residents to improve upon or build new residences. Forbes reported Rancho Santa Fe as having the third most expensive ZIP code in the United States, and most expensive in California, with a median home sale price of $2,585,000. Some homes in ZIP code 92067 but not within the CDP are valued at more than the median home-value within the Master Planned Community that makes up the official CDP
, and many people who live within the 92067 ZIP code cite their community as Rancho Santa Fe even though they do not live within the strict boundaries of the Master Planned Community. The United States Postal Service
(USPS) refers to all homes in the 92067 and 92091 ZIP codes, as well as many of the communities in the 92127 ZIP code, as "Rancho Santa Fe".
initiated a project of growing eucalyptus
trees for railroad timber at the Rancho San Dieguito which constitutes present-day Rancho Santa Fe. At that time about 93% of the property was under one ownership, but the balance of the acreage was vested in a number of separate owners.
In August 1906, the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway
Company acquired the several tracts, taking title in its affiiliate, the so-called “Santa Fe Land Improvement Company”.
Additional small parcels were added including the original properties owned by the Mexican
settlers of the area, the Osuna family who had been recipients of a Mexican Land Grant under Mexican rule of California called "Rancho San Dieguito". A survey in 1922 showed that the new land Company owned 8,796.23 acres.
Officials of the Santa Fe Railway needed satisfactory material for railroad ties, and since the Rancho San Dieguito could be supplied with sufficient water from wells and the nearby river, Eucalyptus seedlings were imported from Australia
and planting began in January 1907.
While the Company planted about 3,000 acres, the experiment proved a failure.
A drought in 1912, followed by a severe frost in 1914, killed about 60% of the remaining trees and all seedlings. Experiments with redwood and other materials at other locations brought abandonment of the project in 1915, and eucalyptus planting was discontinued on Rancho San Dieguito.
While the experiment proved the eucalyptus lumber too hard for railway ties, the eucalyptus and additional planting of other non-native trees and shrubbery were seen as an enhancement to the environment of Rancho Santa Fe until the disastrous California
wildfire
s of September and October 2007.
The actual planning of the residential community occurred in the early 1920's, with local architect Lilian Jeannette Rice leading the effort.
Since the 2007 fire, many in the community have grown to believe that the Association is not representative of the homeowners' best interests due the ever-present fire danger posed by diseased and dying eucalyptus trees. Disease spread in 1989 with infestation of the area by an insect native to Australian eucalyptus forests, leading to the immediate and possibly irreversible decline of the Red Gum Eucalyptus forest of Rancho Santa Fe. This insect, the red gum lerp psyllid (Glycaspis brimblecombei), was found in Los Angeles County in 1998 and has rapidly spread through much of California as well as to Arizona
, Florida
, Hawaii
, and Mexico
, on varieties of eucalyptus.
Despite optimistic assertions by hired arborists and the "Forest Health Task Force," the Rancho Santa Fe Red Gum Eucalyptus forest has continued to decline, while the Rancho Santa Fe Protective Covenant Association, which is unelected, attempts to maintain the status quo by replanting burned areas. Opponents of this policy favor returning the area to a more natural environment through the planting of California-native tree species, such as Coastal Live Oak (Quercus agrifolia) and Torrey Pine (Pinus torreyana).
According to the United States Census Bureau
, the CDP has a total area of 6.8 square miles (17.6 km²). 6.7 square miles (17.4 km²) of it is land and 0.1 square mile (0.258998811 km²) of it (1.07%) is water.
The climate of Rancho Santa Fe is, for the most part, typical of the San Diego metropolitan area, though the higher elevation and inland location tends to lend itself to higher temperature variation. Additionally, Rancho Santa Fe is notable for being one of only a few places in suburban San Diego to receive snowfall, the last of which occurred on February 26–27, 2011.

Because of the (especially) recent wildfire devastation, Rancho Santa Fe is expecting a significant loss in population when the 2010 census is released (compared to 2000). Many residents, burned out sometimes two or three times, have decided not to return permanently. Many residents decide not to return

District, represented by Republican Martin Garrick

, a Mexican land grant made during 1836–1845 to Juan María Osuna
(the first mayor
or alcalde
of the San Diego area). In 1906 it was sold to the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway
Company, which renamed it after the second transcontinental railroad to reach California. As previously mentioned, the Railway planted extensive groves of eucalyptus
trees in the hope of having a near-inexhaustible supply of raw material for the railway ties they needed to expand their Western American market. Eucalyptus wood, however, proved too brittle; unable to hold railway spikes. One Sydney Nelson, about whom little else is known, helped finance the purchase of the ten square mile plot, as well as the construction of a golf course (today the main course of the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club). Nelson also drew up rudimentary community plans.
Rancho Santa Fe gained popularity between World War I and World War II, especially following the construction of the Del Mar Racetrack
. Bing Crosby
is credited as an "early settler", hosting annual clambakes on the golf course at the Club. The present-day luxury home development "The Crosby Estates" stands on the site of his former estate.
In addition to many notable Hollywood figures (Douglas Fairbanks
, Mary Pickford
) who played important roles in the founding and popularization of the resort town, Rancho Santa Fe has been the scene for a good deal of San Diego County's high social dramas. In March 1997, 39 members of the Heaven's Gate cult, committed mass suicide in a rented house at 18241 Colina Norte. Due to the publicity surrounding the case, the street name was changed to Paseo Victoria.
Rancho Sante Fe was chosen to host the equestrian
events during the 1984 Summer Olympics
.
Rancho Santa Fe is in the 50th congressional district. Their representative, Randy Duke Cunningham, resigned from the House on November 28, 2005 after pleading guilty to federal charges of conspiracy to commit bribery, mail fraud, wire fraud, and tax evasion for underreporting his income in 2004. Cunningham's corruption first came to light when he bought his Rancho Santa Fe house largely with the proceeds of the sale of his Del Mar home
for an inflated price. He was replaced by Brian Bilbray in the 2006 elections, who beat Democrat Francine Busby.
The public library in Rancho Santa Fe is a branch of the San Diego County Library system, and is open to all California residents. The Rancho Santa Fe Library Guild owns the building and land that house the Rancho Santa Fe Library, as well as providing the staff for the children's room.

Rancho Santa Fe is in the 50th congressional district. Their representative, Randy Duke Cunningham, resigned from the House on November 28, 2005 after pleading guilty to federal charges of conspiracy to commit bribery, mail fraud, wire fraud, and tax evasion for underreporting his income in 2004. Cunningham's corruption first came to light when he bought his Rancho Santa Fe house largely with the proceeds of the sale of his Del Mar home
for an inflated price. He was replaced by Brian Bilbray in the 2006 elections, who beat Democrat Francine Busby.
The public library in Rancho Santa Fe is a branch of the San Diego County Library system, and is open to all California residents. The Rancho Santa Fe Library Guild owns the building and land that house the Rancho Santa Fe Library, as well as providing the staff for the children's room.
