Surrounding Communities: San Marcos, Rancho BernardoArea Map
The location of Escondido was first identified and discovered by Juan Bautista de Anza, a Spanish explorer, in 1776. Later, the area became part of the Rancho Rincon del Diablo (the devil's corner) land grant bestowed to Juan Bautista Alvarado in 1843 by Mexican Governor Manuel Micheltoren. In 1886, the Escondido Land and Title Company acquired the land grant, laid out the town site, and divided the valley into small farms suitable for grapes or citrus. Courtesy City of Escondido.

St. Clare’s Home is a nonprofit, nondenominational organization caring for homeless and abused women with children. Our goal is to transition these mothers to financial and emotional independence in our two-year program. Although it is difficult to estimate the time it takes to heal a broken spirit, the recidivism rate is less that 10% for those who stay in our program past the first 90 days.
