Jurupa Valley ( huh-ROO-puh; Spanish: [xu'rupa]; Serrano: Hurumpa) is a city in the Inland Empire region of northwestern Riverside County, California, United States. It was the location of one of the earliest non-native settlements in the county, Rancho Jurupa. The rancho was initially an outpost of the Mission San Gabriel Arcángel, then a Mexican land grant in 1838. Its name is derived from a Native American village that existed in the area prior to the arrival of Europeans. On March 8, 2011, voters approved a ballot measure A to incorporate and form the city of Jurupa Valley. The effective date of incorporation was July 1, 2011. Residents of the area had previously voted on incorporation in 1992, but rejected that measure, along with a competing ballot measure that would have incorporated Mira Loma. Jurupa Valley was the latest city in California to incorporate until 2024 when Mountain House incorporated in San Joaquin County. The city of Jurupa Valley covers about 43.5 square miles...
