Poway is a city in San Diego County, California, United States. Originally an unincorporated community in the county, Poway officially became a city on December 12, 1980. Poway’s rural roots gave rise to its slogan “The City in the Country”. Poway lies north of the city of San Diego and south of the city of Escondido. Some nearby communities are Rancho Bernardo, Sabre Springs, Scripps Ranch, Rancho Peñasquitos, and Ramona to the East. According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 39.3 square miles, of which 0.1 square miles is water.
Between the seasons of 1894 and 1896, the Poway Progress reported bits of agricultural information such as: “Muscat grapes are beginning to ripen, and the San Diego market is getting a supply of the fine article Poway always produces. … The season has been a prolific one for bees, thirty of forty stands the present season from a single captured swarm a year or two ago. … The peach is a good article, and Poway produces it to perfection. Poway pears will compare with any grown in the state.”
The success of these crops depended on the annual winter rainfall, however, and so remained subject to variations in precipitation until the establishment of the Poway Municipal Water District in 1954. With water readily available, the town’s farming interest shifted to two principal crops, avocados, and citrus fruits. Ironically, despite the relative success of these ventures, Poway ceased to exist as a farming town once the water needed to make it a true agricultural haven appeared. With water came new residents, and the former farm town transformed into a locale full of small commercial businesses and modest shopping centers.
