• Moreno Valley, California

    From JAB@21:1/5 to All on Wed Sep 13 19:00:03 2023
    The city derived its name from the small community of Moreno, which
    became part of the city of Moreno Valley when the city was
    incorporated in 1984. Frank E. Brown, one of the founders of the
    community of Moreno in 1882, declined to have the town named after
    him, but to honor him, the town was named Moreno, Spanish for brown.
