Rancho Santa Fe has a rich history that stretches back 175 years. In 1840, Mexican Governor Pio Pico granted land to Juan Osuna, who would become the first mayor of San Diego. In 1921, the Santa Fe Land Improvement Company transformed the area into a residential community celebrating agriculture, with winding roads full of stunning views of the surrounding landscape. This charming area is home to around 5,000 residents who enjoy a rural paradise with green hills, ocean vistas, and beautiful Spanish Colonial-style buildings. It is also home to the exclusive Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club, a notable highlight since the 1930s when it hosted clambakes thrown by the famous Bing Crosby—adding charm to the history of this beautiful area.

In 1841, Rancho San Dieguito, as it was originally named, was a Mexican land grant of 8,824 acres from Governor Pío Pico of Alta California to Juan Maria Osuna, the first alcalde (mayor) of the Pueblo of San Diego.

In 1906, the Santa Fe Railway, purchased the entire land grant to plant a eucalyptus tree plantation for use as railroad ties, but the wood proved too soft to hold railroad spikes. The railroad then formed the Santa Fe Land Improvement Company to develop a planned community of country estates, named "Rancho Santa Fe" in 1922.

From 1937 to 1947, Bing Crosby hosted a golf tournament known as the "Bing Crosby Clambake" at the Rancho Santa Fe Country Club. Crosby's golf tournaments, which included Hollywood celebrities matched against professionals, drew great crowds to the area.
