This upscale resort community, so close to downtown San Diego, is an idyll of elegant homes, lush landscaping, scintillating resorts, popular beaches and much more. The original inhabitants of the area were the Native American people called the Kumeyaay. The area that is La Jolla today was incorporated into the City of San Diego in 1850. From the beginning, La Jolla was marketed as an isolated and exclusive community by the developers. As early as 1926, La Jolla Shores and La Jolla Hermosa, were sold as a community exclusively for people whose ancestry was pure European. Implicitly this excluded Jewish people, since they are originally of central Asian descent. Housing notices of the period were full of anti-Semitic and racist comments. This officially ended in 1948 when the Supreme Court prohibited such covenants and comments in its judgment on the case "Shelley v. Kraemer". Since then, all minority groups have chosen to make a home here, and by 1962, La Jolla, had a significant Jewish population. Today, the Jewish community in the area is large and thriving, and there are three large synagogues here.
