Encinitas




California is the most populous state of the United States. Located on the Pacific coast of North America, it is bordered by Oregon, Nevada, Arizona and Mexico. California is known for its pleasant climate and ethnically diverse population. The name California is most commonly believed derived from a storied paradise peopled by black Amazons and ruled by Queen Califia.

Encinitas is a coastal city in northern San Diego County, California. In 2000, the population of the city was 58,014 and an area of 52.1 square kilometers. It is located about 40 kilometers north of San Diego, and about 150 kilometers south of Los Angeles. The city was incorporated in 1986 from the communities of Encinitas, Leucadia, and livenhain. These communities retain their identities, and their distinctive flavors. The largest single industry is the growing of ornamental flowers, particularly poinsettias.
 
In the city the population was spread out with 23.1 percent under the age of 18, 7.2 percent from 18 to 24, 33.4 percent from 25 to 44, 25.9 percent from 45 to 64, and 10.4 percent who were 65 years of age or older.
