Mira Loma (Spanish for "Look Hill"), now officially a neighborhood of Jurupa Valley, was a former census-designated place (CDP) in Riverside County, California, United States.
The name was changed that year to help disassociate the community from the Wineville Chicken Coop murders.
Rancho Jurupa/Jurupa Valley was originally granted by the Mexican government to Sn.

It is separated from the city of Riverside by the Santa Ana River to the south, borders the Ontario/Fontana area of San Bernardino County to the north and west, and Pedley / Glen Avon to the east.
The community officially changed its name from Wineville on November 1, 1930, due in large part to the negative publicity surrounding the Wineville Chicken Coop murders.
