La Jolla California
La Jolla California is an enchanting seaside community located within the city limits of San Diego. Dazzling ocean scenery awaits you in this exciting beachfront village. Everything that California is famous for can be found in La Jolla; white sand beaches, tide pools and sandy coves tucked between rocky cliffs, sunshine and year round comfortable temperatures lure thousands of visitors each year.
Walk the exquisite beaches of La Jolla and watch sea lions and seals frolicking in the waves. The town of La Jolla is also home to a large salt water aquarium, and championship golf courses overlooking the Pacific Ocean are just minutes away. In downtown La Jolla you will still find many family owned businesses; art galleries, boutiques, antique shops, unique clothing and jewelry stores.
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 believed to be derived from a Native American language, that of the La Jolla band of Luiseno Indians, who 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, because historically the La Jolla post office was established before the community was absorbed 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.
