Louis A. Havens was a Southern California pioneer businessman,
storyteller, and artist who brought the community of Escondido
together via his camera. He was the first successful photographer
in the thriving north San Diego County agricultural city,
incorporated in 1888. Prior to his arrival, the occasional
photographer might seasonally visit Escondido or attempt to set up
shop, realizing little success. Havens's timing in his arrival,
combined with his skillful eye, ensured his success from 1911 to
1944. His collection documents Escondido's early residents,
architecture, events, and landscapes, and it now persists as a
historic record of past events, culture, and development of the
fourth largest city in San Diego County.
