El Cajon is a city in San Diego County, California. The population was 99,478 at the 2010 census. The population is estimated at 100,116 as of
2011[2]. Nestled in a valley surrounded by mountains, the city has acquired the nickname of “The Big Box”.[3] Its name originated similarly, from the Spanish phrase “el cajón”, which means “the big box” or “the drawer”.
El Cajon is located on the Rancho El Cajon Mexican land grant made in 1845 to María Antonia Estudillo, wife of Miguel Pedrorena. In 1876 Amaziah Lord Knox (1833-1918), a New Englander who had recently moved to California, established a hotel there to serve the growing number of people traveling between San Diegoand Julian, where gold had been discovered in 1869. Room and board for a guest and horse cost $1 a night. The area became known as Knox’s Corners and was later renamed.[8][9]
El Cajon was incorporated as a city in 1912.[10] A portion of the western boundary of the city follows the eastern boundary of a similar land grant, made under Spanish law (prior to Mexican independence) to the Mission San Diego de Alcala.
