Alpine is a picturesque foothill village with many attractive homes and small ranches nestled among the oaks, sycamores, eucalyptus and pepper trees, amid rolling hills covered with chaparral and sage. The first people to enjoy Alpine's fine climate were the Kumeyaay Indians, who lived here around 1,000 years ago. They are one of the many tribes whom the early Catholic Missionaries grouped under the name Diegueno. The descendants of these people are a vital part of our present community.
