City of Carlsbad
History
The City of Carlsbad is named for a famed 19th century spa in Europe, yet its history reflects the heritage of many cultures. The area known today as Carlsbad was claimed as a territory by Spain and then by Mexico before becoming a part of the United States. The shoreline of Carlsbad's coastal lagoon was home to the indigenous Luiseno and Diegueños Indians for centuries before the arrival of the Spaniards.
