History
E.W. Scripps came to California in 1890 on a steamship to San Diego. He didn’t expect much but as he traveled north, he became more excited. Arriving at a barren, dry hill 16 miles from town, he decided to build a home and named it Miramar “after the Archduke Maximilian's castle in Trieste, Italy). Him and his mentor-half-sister, Ellen Browning Scripps, bought 400 acres of what is today Scripps Ranch for $5,000; 30 acres were E.W.'s, for his home and grounds whereas the rest would belong to Ellen. Eventually he acquired 2,100 acres and built a home. The grounds were covered with citrus, pine, eucalyptus, and other beautiful trees (some still stand at the Scripps Ranch Swim and Racquet Club). Ellen lived at Miramar until 1897 and E.W. until 1917.
In October 2003, a section of south Scripps Ranch was devastated by the Cedar Fire, destroying over 300 homes.
Two elected planning groups (the Scripps Ranch Planning Group and the Miramar Ranch North Planning Committee), advise the city on local planning and land-use issues.
