El Cajon was incorporated in 1912 but there has been an established community in this fertile valley from the time of the California Gold Rush. In fact, in 1876, a New England emigrant, Amaziah L. Knox, built a seven room building as a combination residence and hotel on the southwest corner of Magnolia and Main street. Small additions were followed by a large two story annex In 1882.
Knox's Corner was the first El Cajon Real Estate development and it is was also ment to be the nucleus of El Cajon's business district for the next seventy years. By the turn of the century the "City of El Cajon" could boast two hotels, a general store, meat market, post office, pharmacy, harness shop, blacksmith shop, and several smaller shops and offices.
Yet, it wasn't until 1912 that the city actually incorporated. In the General Election of that year the electors voted to incorporate a 1 1/4 square mile area centering on the historic corners of Main and Magnolia. By 1950, the city had grown to 9.8 square miles and the population had increased to 37,618 and at the turn of this last century the city of El Cajon's population estimate is now over 95,000 and the city now covers 15 square miles. El Cajon now has three zip codes 92019,92020, and 92021! Yet, the city still maintains the small town charm that it had in it's humble beginnings.
