Scope and Content of Collection
Annexation Certificates of Completion (1946-1973) consists of one record carton of resolutions and maps documenting the annexation
of unincorporated territory into the cities of El Cajon and Escondido. Under the Annexation of Uninhabited Territory Act of

of annexation. Each certificate consists of several documents including a deposition from the City Clerk, legal description
of land, list of actions taken including written notice, published notice, open council meeting, filing with the secretary
of state, and attachments. Attachments often include folded maps. Ordinance numbers can be found within each record but are
