Menifee

Officially incorporated on October 1, 2008, the city of Menifee in southwestern Riverside County includes the communities of Menifee, Sun City, Quail Valley, Paloma Valley and portions of Romoland.

Covering an area of approximately 50 square miles, Menifee is bordered on the north by Perris, on the west by Canyon Lake and Lake Elsinore, on the south by Murrieta, and on the southwest by another newly incorporated city, Wildomar.

The city takes its name from Luther Menifee Wilson, a miner who discovered a significant quartz lode that led to the growth of mining in the area during the early 1880s. Today, Menifee is a city on the verge of an exciting period of growth, with a mix of master-planned residential, commercial and retail districts that have attracted many prospective residents and businesses.
