Murrieta Heights is likely named after Joaquin Murrieta, a legendary Mexican-American figure from the California Gold Rush of the 1850s who became known as the 'Robin Hood of El Dorado' — a folk hero to some and a notorious bandit to others, whose severed head was allegedly preserved in a jar and displayed for years.
