Discover the Community
History
The first occupants of the territory known as Vista were Luiseno who lived on the land until 1798 when Spanish explorers took over the area. During the 1830s, the Mexican government created three ranchos in the area, with one of them being Rancho Vista. Growth was slow in Vista until a new water supply was constructed in the early 1900s.
Today, it is a thriving community with a vast array of businesses and attractive homes.
