Description and history
The original town of San Marcos was at the intersection of what is now Grand Avenue and Rancho Santa Fe Road. The main business in San Marcos in the 19th and early 20th centuries was farming. In the mid-20th century, dairies and poultry production became a big part of the business in the town. In 1962, Don, Bob, and Gordon Frazar purchased 1648 acres of San Marcos real est
ate from the Clemson and Wells families. The Frazar Brothers (Citizen’s Development corporation) reshaped the shoreline, drained the lake, and increased the size of the lake to 80 acres, its current day size. Lake San Marcos is truly a hidden gem of the San Marcos area. The Dock of Lake San Marcos is a group of realtors dedicated to promoting the community in which they’ve served for over 11 years.
