Jurupa Valley (Serrano: Hurumpa) is a city in the northwest corner of Riverside County, California, United States.

The Rancho was initially an outpost of the Mission San Gabriel Arcángel, then a Mexican land grant in 1838.

[5] Although there was no geographic feature or town officially named Jurupa Valley prior to the establishment of the city in 2011, the term Jurupa Valley is known to have been used as early as 1887 when referring to lands along the northeast side of the Santa Ana River opposite the city of Riverside.

[7] The first rancho was named for the Native American village Jurupa that existed in the area prior to the arrival of Mexican colonizers.

The 1890 book, An Illustrated History of Southern California, states that the word Jurupa was a greeting, meaning ″peace and friendship″, used by the Native Americans when the first Catholic priest visited the area.

[10] In 1902 Father Juan Caballeria, in his History of San Bernardino Valley; From the Padres to the Pioneer, states that the word was derived from Jurumpa, meaning watering place.

[7] Later linguistic studies concluded that the name likely refers to Juru, the Artemisia californica (California sagebrush), common in the area.

[15] The new city struggled for several years, and in 2014 notified the Riverside County Local Agency Formation Commission that it might be necessary to disincorporate.

It remediated many of the outstanding debts of Jurupa Valley, as well as three other recently incorporated cities in Riverside County.

Jurupa Valley lies within District Two of Riverside County, represented by Supervisor Karen Spiegel.

California is represented in the United States Senate by Democrats Laphonza Butler and Alex Padilla.

Notable sites include: Jurupa Valley is located north and west of the Santa Ana River across from Riverside, California, south of the Riverside–San Bernardino county line, and east of Interstate 15.
