To give you an idea of how much El Cajon has changed, my grandfather graduated from the only high school in town in a class of but five students.

That was some time ago! I remember El Cajon from the very early 60’s when it wasn’t unusual to see small dairies, livestock, horses and small open acreages of crops in or near town....even truck farming (mostly orchards) within minutes of town. By the 70’s there was an apartment building boom in the valley and El Cajon went down hill from there.
