La Colonia de Eden Gardens
== History ==
Eden Gardens (also known as La Colonia) is one of the oldest residential areas of Solana Beach, California, formed in the 1920s by Mexican farmers who were hired by the owners of large ranches in Rancho Santa Fe. These farmers wanted their families nearby, hence the name La Colonia (the colony). The original homes built by the first settlers were single-level adobe buildings which have since been razed, with newer two-story apartment complexes having taken their place, allowing for more residents to move in and thereby expand the neighborhood. The name Eden Gardens was thought up in the 1970s by eager land developers, looking to attract residents to the area.
In the late eighties, drug and alcohol problems in the area had reached troublesome levels. Illegal immigrants were exploited by the drug dealers who got them to sell drugs on the street, since they made for reluctant witnesses, were they to be questioned by police. At the two ends of the main drag through La Colonia sentries would be posted, who would send warnings should the police show up.
Local residents spoke up about these issues to the City Council, with the council responding by voting in new ordinances, banning the public consumption of alcohol and increasing the police presence. In 1988 Eddie Lewis created the "Eden Gardens Against Drugs" organization in an effort to improve the area's troubled reputation. In 1991, a new community center was built in La Colonia park and the children’s playground was renovated. In 1996, the San Diego County Sheriff’s department opened an office in the La Colonia Park Community Center. Through these efforts, crime in the area began to diminish substantially.
