Murrieta Town History
Murrieta spent from 1884 to 1924 fighting with postal officials until the extra "t" was removed from the postmark. Residents have been explaining ever since that Murrieta and neighboring Murrieta Hot Springs were named after the pioneer and lawman, Juan Murrieta, not the infamous lawbreaker and bandit, Joaquin Murietta.

It was magnificent land blessed with verdant open spaces dotted with towering oak trees, sycamores, a valley of rich grasses and natural hot springs. It reminded Esequial Murrieta of his native Spain, so he bought 52,000 acres, fully intending to move his sheep ranching operation here from central California.

Murrieta Climate
The climate for Murrieta is comfortable. Afternoon breezes cool down the summer days. Marine air coming in from the Pacific Ocean helps keep the climate mild. Some low-lying areas may experience occasional frost in the winter, but this is rare.
