The Vail Ranch was the main enterprise of the Temecula Valley from the time the Vail Family bought it in 1905, until it was sold in 1964 to build our planned community.

The cattle ranch brought young livestock, which grazed on the verdant hillsides of the valley, to fatten them for market. The Vail brand was a simple heart, a symbol that now characterizes fond memories of Temecula's past.

If you or your family were part of the Vail Ranch operation, please contact a Centennial Committee member listed below. We would love to hear your stories and see any artifacts of photos you may have.
