 community, draw only border

One of the 5 communities that make up the City of Encinitas. In 1870, a few miles north of the railroad tracks, English spiritualists named their settlement Leucadia after one of the Greek Isles. The name means "Isle of Paradise" or "Place of Shelter."

Known to have a large community of artists and surfers, we consider ourselves "laid back", you'll often see bumper stickers around here that say "keep Leucadia funky".
