History

By 1890 some 800 people lived in Murrieta. Population was estimated to be 100,173 in 2008, making it one of the fastest growing cities in the state. Although US 395 did pass through Murrieta, it wasn't until Interstate 15 was built in the early 1980s that another boom began to take hold. Its gently rolling hills dotted with native trees such as the now-threatened Engelmann Oak encouraged a Spaniard named Esequial Murrieta to purchase 52,000 acres in the area, intending to bring his sheep raising business to California. By the late 1980s, suburban neighborhoods were being constructed and people migrated to the Murrieta area from San Diego, Riverside, and Orange Counties and the population grew rapidly.
