The Serine Neighborhood of De Luz Located in Fallbrook, CA

Although not officially documented, the Fallbrook Historical society has records reporting statements the name De Luz came from a vaqueros (a cowboy or herdsmen) Jose de Luz who had built a corral near the area to keep his stock. The earliest know documentation of the De Luz name was found on a map dated 1878 showing the Rancho Santa Margarita area which reveals a stream displayed as Arroyo Corral de la Luz. De Luz being the largest in geographic size of all Fallbrook neighborhoods is a place like no other you will experience.
