Lakeside Information and Highlights

Lakeside was founded and became quite prosperous on the edict and age-old wisdom that, no matter the epoch, people will pay handsomely for a great view.

Its development began in 1886, with a rather large land buyout (about 6600 acres) around the naturally occurring Lindo Lake. El Cajon Valley Land Company’s business gambit was brazen and fortified by the almost majestic vistas and serene panoramas surrounding this area. It instantly began to promote the new venture as a town. Building, aside from the usual accoutrements that makes a city center, an 80-room Victorian Style inn, the Lakeside Hotel. Their general idea was not only to attract tourist but possible investors to the bucolic region.

Three years later, after some acrobatic lobbying and finagling, the company managed to entice the railroad system to pass through its land. This was, at were, the proverbial spark that ignited the powder keg,

By 1904 small business were propping up like wildflowers around the hotel. The land price of the land had tripled in less than 15 years, and the investment was paying off in a big way. That very year, John H. Gay, bought the Lakeside Hotel from the original company. He then proceeded to construct an automobile and horse race track around the lake. Lakeside, due to Gay’s obsession with fast things, transformed into a headline beauty in 1907, when Barney Oldfield set a new land speed record on the track’s opening day.

Since that pivotal event, Lakeside became the stomping ground doc the rich and famous. Upon Gay’s death, per his orders and last will and testament, the racetrack was tore down.

It has long held a reputation as a “cowboy town”, due mostly to its rural setting, prevalence of ranches and its horse ownership in the area. Nonetheless, despite its rodeo like atmosphere, Lakeside still maintains its Gatsby heart as a rich boy’s playground.

Nowadays, the local historic Society maintains its antique like downtown; preserving its buildings and climate for future generations.
