    California Jewel

    Despite the word “jolla” sounding Spanish, it’s not a real word. The Spanish word “joya”, which is similar in pronunciation to jolla, translates to Jewel. Historians believe that sometime in the 19th century when Spanish colonials arrived on the land, they accidentally called it joya. The name has stuck ever since. The Kumeyaay, native people who lived in the area for an estimated 3000 years, called the area “Kulaaxuuy” which means Land of Holes.

    The original Scripps Pier was built in La Jolla between 1915 and 1916 as a 1,000 foot long facility for acquiring clean seawater for campus labs and Birch Aquarium. Ellen Browning Scripps provided all of the funds necessary for its construction. It was rebuild in 1988 and is now used to launch small boat and diving operations for scientific research. While the top of the pier is usually closed to the public, some events like guided walks on the pier are available in summer months.
