History of Menifee Roads

In the 1940's many of the Menifee roads that you see today were given a "family name." These names could be traced back to an early settler of Menifee who had owned a property in a specific location. The list of Menifee roads has a unique history and is a part of Menifee’s culture today.

Early Inhabitants

The area was originally inhabited by the Luiseno and Pechanga Indian tribes, and in the 1700s, the area fell under the rule of the Spanish empire. The area was eventually annexed into the United States from Mexico in 1850 under California's statehood.

Farming activity beginning in the mid-1800s was concentrated in the Menifee area. Mining activity began in the early 1880s with the discovery of a significant quartz lode by miner Luther Menifee Wilson. Menifee derived its name from that mining operation.

The Menifee area began to grow further in 1989 with the master-planned community of Menifee Lakes and continues to be one of the fastest growing communities in California.
