History

John Stewart Harbison was born the third child of William and Margaret (Curry) Harbison, on a farm near Freedom, Beaver County, Pennsylvania, on September 29, 1826. He became a bee keeper in the tradition of his father, and later migrated to the west coast of the United States. After spending a some years in other California locations, he eventual arrived in San Diego aboard the ship "Orizaba" with one hundred and ten colonies of bees on November 28, 1869. In the spring of 1874 he moved with his wife and daughter to a homestead near the Sweetwater River twenty-three miles east of San Diego in a little valley now known as Harbison Canyon. Within seven years time, he was the largest producer of honey in the world, operating 2000 to 3000 hives. At that time, having several hundred hives was considered a large operation.

His success in capitalizing on the vast honey potential of San Diego County, along with his extensive campaign of selling bees to the residents of the county was the major force in making San Diego County the greatest honey producing county in the State of California by 1874, which in turn made California the leading honey producing state of the Union. John Harbison was a major contributor to the theory of bee culture with his development of new tools and methods that characterized the remarkable advances made in nineteenth century apicultural science. Both his brother William and John were important early authors on bee keeping science. Furthermore, he opened up the great retail markets east of the Mississippi River needed to absorb the tremendous honey crops produced in California. John Harbison was worthy of the title bestowed upon him by members of the bee industry-"King of the Beekeepers." He died October 12, 1912, in San Diego at the age of eighty-six.

Harbison Canyon was twice devistated by wildfires. First by the Laguna Fire in 1970 then again by the Cedar Fire on October 26th 2003, the worst firestorm in California history. The Laguna Fire, previously known as the Kitchen Creek Fire and the Boulder Oaks Fire, was, at its time, the second largest fire in the history of California. ... Southern California ablaze on October 26, 2003. ...

For unknown political reasons, Harbison Canyon was considered the "ground zero" of the Cedar Fire, which lost 288 of it's 387 homes. Consequently the community was bestowed considerable attention by the news media, which led to a visit within weeks by Governor Gray Davis, Governor-elect Arnold Schwarzenegger, his wife Maria (Kennedy-Schriver) Schwarzenegger and President George W Bush. The president arrived by military helicopter which landed on the grounds of the Shadow Hills Elementary School.

Attractions

Harbison Canyon, after its unfortunate encounters with wildfires, is best known among locals for the presence of a nudist resort, The Swallows. Harbison Canyon is home to Old Ironsides Park, maintained by the County of San Diego Parks and Recreation. Kumeyaay Indian relics can be found near the stream that runs through the park and Canyon.
