SOURCE : Author
DIGEST : This resolution designates a portion of State Highway
Route (SR) 76 in northern San Diego County as the Luiseño
Highway.
ANALYSIS : The Payómkawichum people have lived in what is now
San Diego County for thousands of years, and were there when the
Spanish arrived. The Spanish established the Mission San Luis
Rey, named for their King Luis, in the Payómkawichum territory
and called the people the Luiseño, a name that stuck over the
past three centuries.
The Luiseño villages followed the course of the San Luis Rey
River from the mountains to the ocean with trails connecting the
villages. These trails became corridors of travel for not just
the Luiseño but the Spanish settlers and later Mexican and

American settlers as well. Eventually, the state of California
built a highway along their route, and today it is SR 76, which
this resolution names in honor of the original people of the
area.
This resolution designates the portion of SR 76 between
Interstate 15 and SR 79 near Lake Henshaw in San Diego County as
the Luiseño Highway. This resolution further requests that the
Department of Transportation erect appropriate signs upon
receiving donations from non-state sources to cover the costs.
