Take a look at this incredible photo from 1890 showcasing Roseville on the Point Loma Peninsula. It's connected to a well-known San Diego pioneer named Louis Rose. Louis Rose was a German Jewish immigrant and San Diego’s first identifiable Jewish resident. Rose was a pioneer developer of San Diego, California. He came to San Diego in 1850, via New Orleans, Louisiana, and Texas. Arriving just as California became a state in 1850, he was San Diego’s first member of the County Board of Supervisors. Another interesting fact is that the neighborhood of Roseville in Point Loma, Rose Creek and Rose Canyon are named after him. Rose was a founding member of Congregation Beth Israel. Congregation Beth Israel became Temple Beth Israel, San Diego’s largest synagogue.
