About Old Town Murrieta
Old Town Murrieta is the original historic district of the city along Washington Avenue, tracing back to an 1884 railroad townsite and now home to restored Victorian and Craftsman-era buildings, local restaurants, and antique shops.
History and Significance: Old Town Murrieta traces to 1884, when a townsite was platted along the newly built California Southern Railroad, and a depot built soon after became the commercial center of the community. By 1890 the settlement had grown to roughly 800 residents, though passenger rail service ended in 1935 and growth slowed for decades until Interstate 15 opened the valley to new development starting in the 1980s. Murrieta officially incorporated as a city on July 1, 1991, and Old Town today retains a walkable stretch of restored historic buildings marked with a self-guided walking tour.
