Riverside County is the fourth largest county in the state, stretching nearly 200 miles across
Morgage
and comprising over 7,200 square miles of fertile river valleys, low deserts, mountains,
foothills and rolling plains. Riverside County shares borders with densely populated Los
Angeles, Imperial, Orange, San Diego, and San Bernardino Counties...extending from within 14
miles of the Pacific Ocean to the Colorado River.
Taking its name from the City of Riverside, the county was formed in 1893 from a small portion
of San Bernardino County and a larger part of San Diego County.
Although the county marks its political beginnings in 1893, the land was occupied long before
Europeans and their descendants entered the areas, by several Native American groups including
the Serranos, the Luisenos, the Cupenos, the Chemehuevi, and the Cahuillas. One of the first
caucasians to travel through the area was Juan Bautista de Anza who led an overland expedition
in 1774.
In May 1893, voters living within an area carved from San Bernardino County (to the north)
and San Diego County (to the south), approved formation of Riverside County. On May 9, 1893,
the County officially formed, and began charting a course under its newly-elected Board of
Supervisors. The County's early years were linked to the agriculture industry...but commerce,
construction, manufacturing, transportation, and tourism soon took hold...contributing
substantially to the region's rapid growth.
Recent years have brought dramatic population growth to Riverside County and a resultant
increase in Riverside real estate appreciation. Between 1980 and 1990, the number of residents
grew by over 76%...making Riverside the fastest-growing County in California. By 1992, the
County was "home" to over 1.3 million residents...more than the entire population of 13 states,
among them Maine, Nevada, Hawaii, and New Hampshire.
