Daley Ranch in Escondido is a hidden gem in San Diego County. Established in 1863 by Robert Daley, Daley Ranch is now a preserve that protects over 3,000 acres of historical ranch land. But the area came close to being lost to development.
The Daley family owned the ranch land for over 100 years, but in the 1980s they worked with an oil company to develop the property with the plan to build over 3,000 houses and a golf course.
Fortunately, the city of Escondido was able to buy the land for $21 million in the 1990s, and the land is now protected. Daley Ranch now has over 25 miles of hiking, biking, and equestrian trails.
Also protected are some of the original buildings from the ranch, including the ranch house that was built in 1925 and a barn dating back to the 1800s.

We moved to Rancho Penasquitos in 1970. Carmel Mountain rd. only went to US 395, I-15 now, It was a dead end, across the freeway was the Daley ranch, Black Angus cattle ran the open land that laid between US395 and Pomerado rd. I would ride my bike to Poway over the dirt rd in the ranch. One time I was chased by a bull, you really get a feel for adrenaline! I remember the wide open land. My mom still lives in the Green Valley area or Poway and it has changed so much, this area is now homes, Costco and the development that could have happened to the Daley ranch in north Escondido! Seeing your video reminds me of the way this area used to look like. Thanks Steve for your vids. I really enjoy them!

See my comment above. Almost the same experience. and it was originally called "Rancho de los Penasquitos" in the '70's. I was the first graduating class out of Mt. Carmel High School. All former Daley property.

I was a mail carrier in Rancho Penesquitos from 1978 until 1980. I remember it being a lot of cow pastures and horse ranches. Black Mountain road was a dirt road back then. I delivered to the new housing tracts. It sure has changed!

Live down the road off El Norte. We have hiked Daley since the Daley family still raised cattle there. '74. Found their bull in a field by accident one time. 😂 Got caught by the ranch hands on horseback and escorted out. Nice guys. Hiked before roads and trails and when it was covered in Manzanita trees. Made camp under giant Manzinita. Miss those days! Thx for covering it!❤❤❤

I consider myself fortunate to be a so CA native from Redlands. I remember the 1960's well when the entire SB valley was covered in orange groves with a few expansive pastures and farms in between and the majestic mountains covered by snow in the winter and orange Poppies and other wild flowers in the spring and summer. We lived in an old farm house in the orange groves and our nearest neighbors were a couple of Hells Angels and their old ladies who lived in another old farm house about a mile down the road. We didn't have much in terms of material possessions, but had no worries because no matter where we looked it seemed as if we were living in a land of milk and honey. On summer weekends our family often took memorable road trips to Escondido, Laguna Beach and Coronado. I'm happy to learn a small piece of that golden era of old CA has been preserved for future generations as I experienced it growing up.

@davidhull6359 4 месяца назад

Thank you for taking us on your hike! The building you looked inside still had a line shaft suspended from the rafters. That would likely make it a machine shop or smith's shop. That workbench looks a lot more recent, but perhaps hints at its earlier use. Since it is unlikely that there would be enough flowing water nearby for a wheel, I'd wonder whether they had an old steam engine or a hit-n-miss engine on that shaft. It might have been salvaged years ago, but sometimes you might see one abandoned in the bushes.... The folks at the Antique Gas and Steam Engine Museum in Vista might be able to comment on the setup at the Daley Ranch.

I spent my early teen years living in Escondido in the late '60s-early 70s but can't say I ever heard of the Daily Ranch, although we drove through it on a backroad from the Valley Center dump to Escondido. Thanks for providing all of this historical perspective, makes me appreciate my youth all the more. Loved my years in Escondido, but would hardly recognize the place today. As someone who's always been fascinated by history, I really appreciate all of the research you do to fill out your presentations. Thanks, Steve, very educational.

My girlfriend and I rode our horses in Daley in the 1990s entering from the north side, the hidden meadows area. We called ourselves the “traveling band of commotion”, as we rode 2 horses and I ponied another, letting it off lead to run next to us. We also had 8 dogs with us. We would get chased off, periodically. My friend got off her horse and thigh shears and machete made several trails in the ranch that are now officially labeled and are favorites with mountain bikers.

Steve, another great video! I have a point of contention about the pronunciation of "Daley". Back when I took CA history in high school about 1981ish our teacher made it a point to pronounce the name, "Daley" without the sharp eye sound after the 'a', not 'Dailey' but more like 'Dally'. Thing is I didn't go to high school in Escondido and so can only take his word about the correct pronunciation. But I do remember the sale/purchase in the news at the time, and the reporters pronounced it with the flat 'a' sound. Has the pronunciation changed in 30 years?
