Santee Information and Highlights

Here's a quick rundown of our list:

Santee Information and Highlights

Santee was the homeland of the Kumeyaa People. The original residents of the greater san Diego area. A Native American tribe whose very history may date back more that 12 thousand years. In the late 18th century Spaniards entered their territory and install went about seizing and confiscating lands. They introduced the Kumeyaa to a number of invasive species, that ultimately brought about the degradation of their local ecology, as well as a Mission System meant to win them over to the Catholic faith and away from their pagan beliefs.

The original settlers of the area, fearing the Conquistadors retreated into the Banks of The San Diego River. There they formed a final village, to ward off the Spaniards, called Sinyeweche, what is presently referred to as Santee.

After the American-Mexican war and the opening of the frontier by the railroad, Milton Santee, the second husband of Jenie Blodgett - heiress to her first husband’s vast fortune - started developing the county and the lands. They rapidly decided to christen the area Santee.

One of Santee’s most peculiar qualities is that fact, that despite being a growing suburban community (with upscale housing, a major business park and even a Sportplex) its still retains a sizable portion of vacant land suitable fro development.
