Murrieta, Residential city in Riverside County, United States
Located between Los Angeles and San Diego, Murrieta extends across an area marked by gentle hills and valleys at 334 meters above sea level.
The California Southern Railroad established tracks through Murrieta in 1882, connecting the valley to its southern transcontinental route and enabling regional development.
The city maintains its connection to the Luiseño people, who established their village Avaa7ax in the exact location where Murrieta stands today.
Murrieta offers convenient access to major highways, with Interstate 15 running through the city and connecting residents to neighboring Southern California destinations.
Natural hot springs in the area led to the creation of Murrieta Hot Springs Resort, which operated during the first half of the 1900s.
