By this time next year visitors will have another chance to experience history with Old Poway Park’s new Train depot park. 
The Kumeyaay -Ipai Interpretive center at Poway, was home to a large clan. The Native Americans lived primarily on the east side of the hill that blocked the prevailing winds. Can you envision the Poway Valley with no buildings, roads, or cars? The land had thousands of oak trees along the banks of Poway Creek with large sycamore trees and a year- round stream. This was home of the Kumeyaay- Ipai Indians. During this time, game was plentiful, and vegetation produced enough food to sustain the entire tribe. The site had other advantages that included the highest vantage point in Poway Valley that allowed the Native Americans to look out for game and predators. The large boulders provided shelter and it was also thought the boulders and rocks peak on the site had a religious significance, although this theory has not been substantiated.
The name of Poway (Pauwai) is derived from the language of the Diegueno and Luiseno Indians who roamed the area years before the Spaniards came.
