(to “la jolla” –> spanish “jewel” –> black irish –>)
(pronounced “la hoya”)
.
*an ‘affluent hilly seaside resort community’, occupying 7 miles (11 km) of curving coastline along the Pacific Ocean in Southern California within the northern city limits of San Diego
.
The 2004 estimated population was 42,808.
La Jolla is surrounded on three sides by ocean bluffs and beaches and is located 12 miles (19 km) north of Downtown San Diego, and 40 miles (64 km) south of Orange County California,
The climate is mild, with an average daily temperature of 70.5 °F (21.4 °C)
La Jolla is home to a variety of businesses in the areas of lodging, dining, shopping, software, finance, real estate, bio-engineering, medical practice and scientific research.
The University of California, San Diego (UCSD) is located in La Jolla, as are the Salk Institute, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, and the headquarters of National University (though its academic campuses are elsewhere).
Local Native Americans, the Kumeyaay, called this location mat kulaaxuuy [mat kəlaːxuːj], ‘land of holes’ (mat = ‘land’).
What sort of topographic feature the description “holes” refers to is uncertain, but it may be the sea-level caves on the north facing bluffs which are visible from La Jolla Shores.
This was apparently corrupted by the Spanish occupiers to “La Jolla”.
An alternate suggested origin is that the name is a corruption of the Spanish La Joya, meaning “the jewel”.
Although disputed by scholars, this origin of the name is widely cited in popular culture, and has given rise to the nickname “Jewel City.
From its beginnings to the early 1960s, La Jolla was marketed by developers as a bastion of isolation and exclusivity
.
Antisemitic housing practices began in 1926 with the development of La Jolla Shores, and continued from the 1920s through about 1970.
.
In La Jolla Shores and La Jolla Hermosa, only people with pure European ancestry could own property (this excludes Jews, who were not considered “white”), and housing notices included racist comments against Jews and other minority groups.
.
Housing restrictions were thought to be enough to keep “undesirable” ethnic groups from living in La Jolla, until the 1948 Supreme Court case Shelley v. Kraemer prohibited such restrictive covenants.
.
After the ruling, real estate companies used less obvious tactics to keep Jewish people out of La Jolla.
.
Real estate agents would be fired if they sold a house to Jewish clients.
.
There were no for-sale signs put up on properties, requiring the prospective buyer to go to a real estate office to find out what was available.
.
If an agent suspected that a potential home buyer was a Jew, they would demand higher down payments and display green cards on their dashboards marked with the Star of David to warn the seller.
.
The sellers would also send codes to their real estate agents; if their porch lights were on during the day, they did not want Jewish buyers
.
In 2003 a writer for the San Diego Jewish Journal reported,
“When world-renowned British mathematician/philosopher Jacob Bronowski was brought to the Salk Institute by Jonas Salk in 1963, he wanted to buy a piece of land on La Jolla Farms Road for the purpose of building a house for his family.
But the land was part of William Black’s Beach and Bridle Club, and the Bronowskis were required to produce three written character references.”
The family produced letters from members of Parliament
.
By 1962, La Jolla, and the non-restrictive La Jolla Scenic Heights in particular, had a substantial Jewish population due to talk of establishing UCSD in the area.
The university would bring many Jewish professors, who would need to live in nearby areas such as La Jolla.
In the words of UCSD patriarch Roger Revelle,
“You can’t have a university without having Jewish professors.
The Real Estate Broker’s Association and their supporters in La Jolla had to make up their minds whether they wanted a university or an anti-Semitic covenant.
You couldn’t have both

*’la jolla’ now boasts a large + thriving ‘jewish population’, and there are 3 large synagogues in ‘la jolla’*
