North San Diego County (locally referred to as North County) refers to the northern portion of San Diego County, a suburban and rural area far from the urban center of San Diego. North County (like the eastern San Diego County area) are considered more socially conservative than the southern portion of the county. The name dates to at least the 1970s, when many of the communities in the area were yet to become incorporated cities and local community decisions were made 40 miles away at the county seat.
Definitions vary, but always include the cities along Highway 78 (west to east: Oceanside and Carlsbad, Vista, San Marcos, and Escondido) as well as points north (such as Fallbrook).

But for both geographic and political reasons, opinions differ as to whether to include the northern communities within the city of San Diego (Rancho Bernardo, Scripps Ranch), or close in cities such as Solana Beach or Del Mar.
