The name comes from the Carmelite Sisters of Mercy, who established a dairy farm and monastery in the area c. 1905. It is one of the newer neighborhoods of the City of San Diego, California.
The City of San Diego formed the community on February 1, 1975, And construction began in 1983 as residential neighborhoods replaced farms.
Although the area is known locally as Carmel Valley, in 1974, the site was given the institutional name North City West in the master plan because the name Carmel Valley was adopted by residents in 1991 to replace the name.
