Out I-8 past SDSU, between San Carlos, Lemon Grove, the Cajon Zone. I remember when it was all 619. All of it.

Mid 70s for my area. They created new exchanges without names for touchstone phones since the old exchanges were not compatible. Afterwards the use of the exchange names just sort of faded away.
Was that near Carr's farm?

As far as I know, there's only one, but maybe?

Yes
My parents' number they got after they married in 1956 and took the 1st floor of a 2 story duplex my maternal grandparents had: ST(ate) 8-4936.
That number went dark for us in March 2021 when we sold the home they bought in March 1964.
My maternal grandparents had RE(serve) 7-5212 from when they married in 1936 and went dark when my grandfather passed away in 2010.
