And so it begins...

Jurupa is located in the north west corner of Riverside County, California, north and west of the Santa Ana River and south of the Riverside/San Bernardino County line. It is home to over 100,000 people. It is an area whose known history stretches back about as far as can be expected in inland Southern California. I have written two books on the Jurupa area and I write a regular history column for our local weekly paper, The Record.    This blog about Jurupa's history is just an obvious continuation of my ongoing research into Jurupa's past. I hope you will join me on this journey. I think it will be fun.
