This area was originally part of the Rancho Cucamonga Valley with the Mira Loma area becoming a portion of the Jurupa Valley more recently. Once known as Wineville, the name was changed to Mira Loma, which means "view of the hills," after the Wineville Chicken Murders of the late 1920's. Local residents wanted to get away from the publicity of the name of Wineville after the murders took place in the Schleisman/Wineville area.
In the early 1930's, the dairymen and wineries began to develop here. Now, there are few dairies and wineries left. Galleano Winery is the main one left in the area.
See this history page on the history of Mira Loma.
