Del Mar is located in San Diego County

Population: 16,832 Del Mar means "by the sea", and the origin of the name can be traced back to Ella Loop who had previously given the name to the tent city on the beach that she and her husband, Theodore, established in the early 1880s. Theodore Loop was a contractor and engineer for the California Southern Railroad that began passing through the Del Mar area in 1882. It wasn't until 1958 that Del Mar residents began to debate whether the area should stay as a county of San Diego, become part of the City of San Diego, or attempt independence through incorporation. In 1959, residents chose incorporation and established a five-member City Council. Today, the City of Del Mar is two square miles of coastal land with a population of about 5000. The main attraction of visitors is still the beach and sunny weather. Of course, the annual Del Mar Fair and the well-known Del Mar Racetrack bring in people from the surrounding areas and beyond.
