Spring Valley is named for the natural Spring located there. It was long the home of the Kumeyaay tribe, who called it ''Neti'' or ''Meti''. Spanish conquerors drove off the natives and used the area for cattle, calling it ''El aguaje de San Jorge'' (St. George's Spring). In 1873 Judge Augustus S. Ensworth of San Diego filed a claim for a 160 acre (647,000 m&2) ranch that included the spring. The ranch, and the small Adobe house he built there, were sold to Rufus King Porter and later to historian Hubert Howe Bancroft . The adobe is now a National Historic Landmark .
