Julian is a census-designated place (CDP) in San Diego County, California which developed as a classic gold rush boomtown in the 1870s after gold was discovered by Fred Coleman, attracting miners, a tent city, rapid growth with saloons and stores, and discussions of becoming a county seat, before transitioning into a more stable community with agriculture and tourism. As of the 2020 census, the population was 1,768, up from 1,502 at the time of the 2010 census.
