Menifee Valley defines the setting of Menifee — broad, dry-summer terrain in southwestern Riverside County where neighborhoods extend between low hills and the distant Santa Ana Mountains. Incorporated in 2008, Menifee is one of Southern California’s newer cities, though its name dates to the 1880s Menifee mining district, named for prospector Luther Menifee Wilson. It forms part of the Inland Empire, a major inland metropolitan area east of Los Angeles, and has grown around residential communities, parks, schools and local services. The seasonal shift from green winter hills to golden summer slopes is a familiar part of the local rhythm.
