Welcome to El Cajon
Surrounding Communities: Jamul, La Mesa, Spring Valley, Lakeside, Santee, San Carlos, Navajo - Area Map
The name "El Cajon" is Spanish for "the box." El Cajon is surrounded by rolling hills and mountains, 15 miles east of the City of San Diego. The current population of 96,600 makes it the sixth most populated city in the region and the largest city in East County. As one of the most eastern cities in the County, El Cajon has a warm and dry climate. A mix of diverse residential, commercial, and industrial areas, El Cajon serves as the main commerce center for several surrounding communities. Gillespie Field, a general aviation airport, is a major contributing factor to the city's vibrant industrial development. There are 23 elementary schools, seven middle schools and four high schools.
