San Pasqual Indian Reservation

This Reservations history is mysterious. It was supposedly established in 1870 by President Grant. Original San Pasqual Reservation covered 92,000 acres, in and around Highland Valley, Lake Wohlford, Mount Woodson and Ramona region of northern San Diego County. In 1901, American leaders refused to honor an old treaty that established a very large Reservation created on January 5 and January 7 of 1852. That very large Reservation is yet legitimate. They evicted Indians living there. Then in 1903 United States purchased Reservation land for Kumeyaay and relocated them. Kumeyaay People are Mexican-Opata or as they are known now Uto-Aztecan. Garcia Cubas listed their language as Opata-Pima. In 1910, they added more land to San Pasqual Reservation and it was officially established as San Pasqual Reservation. Today, San Pasqual Reservation covers 1,412 acres. Their Reservations population is 752. Native Americans including mixed bloods and Hispanics number 750, while whites number 176. Blacks number 1, while Asians number 157.
