The City in the Country

Poway was originally settled by Native Americans long before colonists arrived. This is evident in the vast array of artifacts that have, and continue to be found today. It was anciently known as Pawiiy or Pauwaii, by the Kumeyaay people. It was not until 1804 that the area was settled by Spaniards, even then it would be 176 years later until Poway was officially declared a city on December 12, 1980.

Poway was not a western cowboy town as many people believe, but rather a vast land of agricultural wealth. The winter precipitation provided substantial water for crops like avocados and oranges, but as more water became readily available more residents came, and farms left making way for Poway to become a residential hub.

Today Poway Boasts many adventures hiking trails and natural beauties. One popular natural beauty is known as Potato Chip Rock. Located at the end of the Mt. Woodson hike is a unique weathered rock jettisoning out of the mountain which has the resemblance of a potato chip.

If hiking is not your scene, you can find adventure at the Old Poway Park, which has a real steam locomotive, a unique shopping experience, and quaint dining all surrounding an old western town feel.
