History

Del Cerro began as an affordable housing project with the secondary purpose to develop eastern San Diego, securing a primary transportation path to San Diego proper. Del Cerro developed with surrounding communities into a diverse cultural center. During the 1960's and 1970's many Jews living in San Diego proper decided to migrate toward the Del Cerro area. This decision was based on a belief of racism and a desire to protect their cultural rights and persons from perceived abuse by other San Diego residents.

Today, as the Jewish community has generally migrated to northern coastal San Diego, few Jewish home owners still reside in their homes. Thus the community is losing its stereotype as 'Hannukah Hill.' Many residents of Del Cerro enjoy lush views from the hill that extend as far as the Coronado Islands.
