San Ysidro is a community in the southern section of San Diego. It is located in the southernmost part of San Diego County, immediately north of
the U.S.-Mexico border. It neighbors Otay Mesa West to the north, Otay Mesa to the east, and Nestor and the Tijuana River Valley to the west. Major thoroughfares include Beyer Boulevard and San Ysidro Boulevard.
San Ysidro is named for San Ysidro Labrador (Saint Isidore), patron saint of farmers. A chapel of Mission San Diego de Alcalá was established in the area about 1818.[1]
The Little Landers was a community founded in 1908 with the motto, “A little land and a living surely is better than desperate struggle and wealth possibly.” Each member of the community held a plot of land no bigger than they could cultivate themselves, averaging 2 acres (8,100 m2) each, in order to foster a non-hierarchical social structure.[2] Every person had an equal voice in the affairs of the community whose business affairs was conducted by a board of directors voted in by the community. All agricultural buying and selling was pooled on a cooperative basis. Members agreed to forfeit their land should they leave the community.
The community levied a commission on the sale of land which funded public improvements such as a library, park, irrigation systems, and a clubhouse. They maintained a retail market in San Diego where harvested produce was sold. In addition to growing vegetables, the community raised and marketed ducks, rabbits, and goats.[3][4]
The Little Landers is known as one the nation’s first communes.[5] It was started by William Ellsworth Smythe in 1908, and lasted until a major flood wiped out its farms in 1916.[6][7]
