About Escondido, California
Escondido is a city in San Diego County, California, United States. The Escondido area was first settled by the Luiseño, who established campsites and villages along the creek running through the area. They named the place Mixéelum Pompáwvo or "Mehel-om-pom-pavo." The Luiseno also had another village north of Mixéelum Pompáwvo called Panakare. Downtown has become more active in the past few years with the opening of restaurants, cafes, and galleries.
