11 Reasons to Drive to Julian, CA This Weekend Thrillist 2/22/2021 © Brandi Lyon Photography/Shutterstock Nestled in the Cuyamaca Mountains about an hour northeast of San Diego and two-and-a-half hours southeast of Los Angeles is the tiny town of Julian, California, population 1,502 (2010 census). Julian was formed in 1869, when Confederate soldiers and cousins Mike Julian and Drury Bailey settled in the area, hoping to strike gold. Named in honor of Mike Julian, the town experienced an almost immediate increase in population with the discovery of gold in a nearby stream by former enslaved cattleman, A.E. “Fred” Coleman in 1870 spurring San Diego’s first and only gold rush that lasted until about 1900. A bronze plaque near Town Hall commemorates the city’s early Black history, as Julian once boasted the majority of San Diego’s Black population: in the 1880 census, 33 of 55 Black residents living in San Diego County lived in the Julian area.
