Julian


Julian is a census-designated place (CDP) in San Diego County, California, in the United States. As of the 2010 census, the population was 1,502, down from 1,621 at the 2000 census.

Julian is an official California Historical Landmark No. 412. Also, the Julian townsite and surrounding area is defined by the San Diego County Zoning Ordinance Section 5749 as the Julian Historic District. This designation requires that development adhere to certain guidelines that are administered by the Architectural Review Board of the Julian Historic District, which is appointed by the San Diego County Board of Supervisors. (The “Design Guidelines Manual” is available in portable document format at San Diego County’s office web site.[2])

The Julian Union School District[3] operates one elementary and one junior high school as well as Julian Charter School[4]

Although Julian’s picturesque setting attracts tourists, recreationalists and antique lovers, the town is most famous for its apple crop. The apple variety grown locally is considered less sweet than most traditional types, but pies and cider made from the fruit have garnered great popularity for nearly 100 years. The town is often very busy on holiday weekends and during the apple harvest season (approximately the month of October).

Local shops feature handtooled jewelry, Western artwork, souvenirs, apple-related foods and candy. In homage to Julian’s “gold rush,” an inactive gold mine is open daily for tours, and recreational gold panning continues today in Banner Creek east of town. Three AAA approved places of lodging are available, including the historic Julian Hotel, several bed and breakfast type establishments, and many private cabins.
