Cuyamaca Rancho State Park Live Cam

Cuyamaca Rancho State Park is a state park in California, United States, located about 40 miles east of San Diego. The park was established in 1933 and covers an area of about 26,000 acres. The park's name comes from the Kumeyaay word 'kwaaypaayi', which means 'place where it rains'.

The park has a rich history that dates back to the early 19th century, when the area was home to Kumeyaay Indians. In the late 1800s, settlers arrived in the area and began to develop the land for agriculture and mining. The gold rush of 1870 brought many prospectors to the area, and several small mining communities sprang up.

In 1907, the land that is now Cuyamaca Rancho State Park was purchased by the San Diego Flume Company, which used the land for logging and to create a system of flumes to transport water to San Diego. The company also built a railroad through the park to transport logs and supplies.
