Temecula’s Untold History: The Story Behind Its Surprising Origins

[@johnklein233]

Nice video, thanks for posting. I have lived and worked in the Temecula Valley for about 35 years, and only knew pieces of its history. Unfortunately the simple life we used to have out here is a thing of the past. The area has been ruined by poor planning and overbuilding. Now thousands of rental units are being built in the area, but NO new roads in or out of the valley, so things are about to get 100 times worse.

@@johnklein233 Boy ain’t that the truth…the entire Temecula Valley has become a victim of it’s own success. Sad.

Being in San Diego my whole life I can sense the same happening all around here too.

[@Quietlydelicious]

Had no idea Temecula had so much history 🙌🏾

[@Voyagerhq]

Good food too! 😊

[@cagermanboy]

WOW! Thank you so much for this amazing history lesson. I know you took a lot of time to verify these facts and I commend you for your diligence. I am in San Diego and I will definitely be coming to Temecula again with a different view because of your insight. God bless!

Another wonderful post informative and captivating, i learned so much about Temecula....how about eastern San diego like El Cajon, Santee, Pine valley Olde hwy 80 etal that you for all the work you put into these posts

[@Voyagerhq]

Great Suggestions. I have been gradually gathering information about eastern San Diego. Theres a lot to cover!

[@josephhaddakin7095]

My mom's family lived there in the early 50s & her father's father(my great grandfather) moved there in the late 20s. They moved to Idyllwild in the mid 50s.

[@Voyagerhq]

It would be interesting to learn how it was there back then.

[@P40BTomahawk]

I remember a time when it still had dirt roads

[@Voyagerhq]

It was interesting to learn that most development didn’t occur until the late 1960’s

@@Voyagerhq The wife and I were coming from Anza and made a stop to eat thinking I knew where we were, not recognizing it and asked a lady, she laughed as if she didn't belive me and said Temecula! I was very surprised. Thanks for the upload, professionally done.

[@aprilgaudenti257]

Or pauma valley, valley center?

[@Voyagerhq]

I’d like to visit there soon. If you have recommendations I’m all ears!

[@josephhaddakin7095]

My Great grandfather built his retirement house in Valley Center. He passed away in the mid 70s. I remember playing there in the early 70s. I think it's an Arabian Stallion ranch now.

[@aprilgaudenti257]

When Temecula was a one horse town the old taver had bullet holes in the wall behind the bar.

[@Voyagerhq]

Interesting the town must have been wild back then!

[@aprilgaudenti257]

I moved from pauma valley to Oregon in 1990. Temecula is beginning its ruin by vast housing development. It’s awful now.

[@Voyagerhq]

That’s what I hear from many people who live near there.

[@makaulaulak9424]

This video sure does romanticize a city that’s not worth a mention, full of strip malls and overpriced cookie cutter homes. Unless you’re an alcoholic there’s no reason to visit Temecula. One of the most isolated places in all of Southern California due to geography. Temecula is full of pretentious snobs in the valley!

[@Voyagerhq]

I appreciate your perspective. I can’t tell a lot about the people living there today - yet made this out of curiosity about the history of the region.

@@makaulaulak9424 Obviously you have some sort of chip on your shoulder for Temecula, and have no idea what you are talking about.
