Carlsbad, California's history began with the Luiseño people who located one of their villages, Palamai, near what is today Agua Hedionda Lagoon. Modern-day Carlsbad was born when in the 1880s a former sea captain named John Frazier dug a well for water. Frazier began offering his water at the train station and soon the whistle-stop became known as Frazier's Station. The site of John Frazier's original well can still be found at Alt Karlsbad, a replica of a German Hanseatic house, located on Carlsbad Boulevard.

When testing on another nearby well declared the water chemically similar to a famous spa in Europe located in Carlsbad (Karlovy Vary), Czech Republic, the area adopted the new, familiar and prestigious name. Soon after that event, town leaders launched a major marketing campaign to attract visitors. The area experienced a period of growth, with homes and businesses appearing everywhere.

Incorporated in 1952, Carlsbad became one of the first California communities to adopt ordinances protecting sensitive wildlife habitat. The city has also promised to protect a certain amount of land within city limits from development of any kind, along with spending significant funds to restore habitats destroyed by newer development projects.

Today, because of its location, relatively low population density and high-performing school districts, Carlsbad, California, is known as a city with a high quality of life.
