Riverside County

Riverside County has served as an agricultural heartland within Southern California since its establishment in 1893. Its immense territory extends from the Inland Empire around the city of Riverside to the Coachella Valley and the Colorado Desert, where dry basins and rugged ranges replace the region’s urban fringe. The Colorado River forms much of the county’s eastern boundary, while Joshua Tree National Park and the San Jacinto Mountains reflect its striking environmental contrasts. Riverside itself grew during the citrus boom and is home to the historic Mission Inn.
