History

The area, previously known as “Vallecitos”, (little valley), was renamed “Rainbow Valley” in the late 1880s, after Mr. James Peebles Marshall Rainbow, who bought a homestead there.

In October 2007, the Santa Ana winds fueled a major wildfire in the area.

The town has many palm tree farms, and is a gateway to the city of Temecula.
