Summary

Description

Emerald Hills is a community in the southeastern section of the city of San Diego. It is bordered by Oak Park and California State Route 94 on the north, Chollas View and Euclid Avenue on the west, Encanto on the east, and Valencia Park and Market Street on the south. Major thoroughfares include Kelton Road and Roswell Street.

The area which constitutes Emerald Hills was once a burial site for the local Kumeyaay Indian tribe. The modern neighborhood is named for the Emerald Hills Country Club and Golf Course, established in the area in 1929. The Country Club was sold in 1939 to Thomas Sharp (of Sharp Health Care) to build a transmitter site for his radio stations KFSD-AM/FM. Due to the proximity to the Chollas Naval Towers, the KFSD towers were not built until 1948. During the war Sharp continued to operate the golf course, and after the radio transmitter facility was built, Emerald Hills was lowered from an 18 hole course to a 9 hole. Sharp sold the remaining golf course to developers to be used for homes in 1958.

The highest point in Emerald Hills holds a radio transmitter for AM 600 KOGO.
