The Escondido History Center has put out a new book on the history of Escondido, titled “Escondido, a Pictorial History of the Hidden Valley.”
The nearly 250-page book features hundreds of photographs showing Escondido’s earlier history, including rarely seen historical photos. The work, two years in the making, covers Escondido’s early days going back to 1886 and up to the present, including an overview of significant events over the last 30 years.
The book was written by the Escondido History Center’s executive director, Robin Fox, an Escondido native, with help from the center’s board vice president, Carol Rea.
