Backyard of the Day:

Carlsbad, San Diego County, California

Carlsbad is located in northern coastal San Diego County, California

 

Vi camperede ved Magee Park i Carlsbad og tog ud for at opdage byen...
Det første, vi fandt ud af var, at de har farlig flotte brandhaner...

We day camped at Magee Park in Carlsbad and went out to explore the town...
The first thing we discovered was they have fancy fire hydrants...

 

 

Carlsbad var oprindelig bare en lille jernbanestation, men i 1880erne kom en tysk immigrant, Kaptajn John Frazier, til området. Han fandt mineralvand, da han gravede en brønd, en spa blev anlagt, og hermed blev byen grundlagt.
Byen fik navn efter Karlsbad i Bohemien (nu Karlovy Vary, Tjekkoslovakiet), fordi vandet Frazier fandt i sammensætning ligner mineralvand derfra.

Carlsbad was originally nothing but a tiny whistle stop, but in the 1880s a German immigrant, Captain John Frazier, came to the area. He found mineral water while drilling a well, a spa was established, and the town was founded.
It was named after Karlsbad in Bohemia (Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic), because of the resemblance of the water to the mineral water there.

 

 

John Frazier 1833 - 1899

 

På korset, der førhen stod over mineralbrønden står "CARLS BAD CALIF 1882." I dag står brønden inden i en lille pavillon.

On the cross that used to stand over the well, it says "CARLS BAD CALIF 1882." Today the well is located inside a tiny pavillion.
