Carlsbad History:
The original inhabitants were the Luiseño people, who
are in the Shoshonean linguistic group. One of their rancherias
(villages) was Palamai, which was located near present downtown
Carlsbad. Today, the Luiseño live on one of several Indian
Reservations inland near Palomar Mountain. Much of greater
Carlsbad was part of Rancho Agua Hedionda (which means "Stinking
Water"). This 13,311 acre ranch was granted to Don Juan
María Marrón in 1842. Some of the original ranchhouses
are now incorporated in modern buildings. Carlsbad started as
a whistle stop on the new California Southern Railroad. In the
1880s John Frazier, another former ship's captain, dug a fresh-water
well that came to be used for thirsty locomotives. The stop
became known as Frazier's Station. Frazier dug another well
that produced mineral water. The water was analyzed and found
equal in mineral content to one of Europe's most popular health
spas--Karlsbad, Bohemia (now Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic).
Later, Carlsbad was renamed "Carl" for a time because
of confusion with Carlsbad, New Mexico on train schedules and
because of hysteria during World War I. Popular demand restored
the former name.
