Pechanga Reservation
Ethnology-Language: Luiseņo
Established: 1882
County: Riverside
Acreage: 4,394
Population: 420
Location: Near the city of Temecula off County Road S-16, just south of the intersection
with Highway 79, at Rancho California. Pechanga is located in a beautiful mountain
basin region with several ranches, burial ground, and an old chapel on a hillside. The
large, successful casino abruptly interrupts this landscape but has provided the tribe
with much needed income to support infrastructure, education, health care and nice
recreation facilities.
Library: Pechanga does not have a library but plans to have one within
or adjacent to its planned cultural center.
