El Cajon, California

Nicknamed “The Box” for the valley that encircles the city, El Cajon offers a unique blend of history, culture, and community.

Incorporated in 1912, El Cajon is home to over 105,000 residents. Located just 17 miles east of downtown San Diego along the 8 Freeway, the city has produced an impressive lineup of talent, including 20 major and minor league baseball players such as the Padres’ own Joe Musgrove. Other notable natives include Olympic diver Greg Louganis and seven-time NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson.

El Cajon is also the proud home of the Wieghorst Museum, which celebrates the work of artist Olaf Wieghorst. A longtime resident of the city, Wieghorst spent over 44 years in El Cajon capturing the essence of the 19th-century American West in his artwork.

The city’s climate is a mix of Mediterranean and semi-arid, creating ideal conditions for both drywood and subterranean termites.
