When renowned newspaper publisher Edward Willis Scripps built his 400-acre ranch in 1898, many eucalyptus trees were planted in the mistaken notion that their pulp would be a good source of newspaper. So, while they were not of use to Mr. Scripps in his publishing empire, the beautiful forests of mature eucalyptus trees along Pomerado Road are today a unique feature of the Scripps Ranch community's landscape.
Located north of MCAS Miramar, south of Poway and bordered on the west by Interstate 15, “the 92131” is one of San Diego's most desirable, livable communities.
Although Scripps Ranch is predominantly a residential community, several major businesses are in Scripps Ranch, including CoreLogic/Credco, a financial services company; Lockheed Martin, a leading defense-industry firm; Genova Diagnostics, a large life-science company; and Excel Hotel Group, which specializes in the development, construction, renovation and management of limited and full-service hotels.
The community is also home to smaller companies that span a wide range of traditional office uses.
