With the signing of the [[Treaty of Cordoba]] in 1821, Mexico gained its independence from Spain, but the [[Mission San Gabriel Arcángel|San Gabriel Mission]] near what is now [[Los Angeles, California]], continued to expand, and established [[Rancho San Gorgonio (San Gabriel Mission)|Rancho San Gorgonio]] in 1824. The ranch was to be one of the Mission's principal ''rancherias'', and the most distant, and it occupied most of today's [[San Gorgonio Pass]] area.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Gunther |first1=Jane Davies |title=Riverside County, California, Place Names; Their Origins and Their Stories |date=1984 |location=Riverside, California |pages=456–461}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last1=Gudde |first1=Erwin G. |title=California Place Names |date=1949 |publisher=University of California Press |location=Berkeley and Los Angeles |page=305 |edition=1st}}</ref>
Following the [[Mexican secularization act of 1833]] by the [[First Mexican Republic]], a series of rancho land grants were made throughout the state. In the Riverside County this included; [[Rancho Jurupa]] in 1838, [[Rancho El Rincon (Bandini)|El Rincon]] in 1839, [[Rancho San Jacinto Viejo]] in 1842, [[Rancho San Jacinto y San Gorgonio]] in 1843, Ranchos [[Rancho La Laguna (Manriquez)|La Laguna]], [[Rancho Pauba|Pauba]], [[Rancho Temecula|Temecula]] in 1844, Ranchos [[Rancho Little Temecula|Little Temecula]], [[Rancho Potreros de San Juan Capistrano|Potreros de San Juan Capistrano]] in 1845, Ranchos [[Rancho San Jacinto Sobrante|San Jacinto Sobrante]], [[Rancho La Sierra (Sepulveda)|La Sierra (Sepulveda)]], [[Rancho La Sierra (Yorba)|La Sierra (Yorba)]], [[Rancho Santa Rosa (Moreno)|Santa Rosa]] and [[Rancho San Jacinto Nuevo y Potrero|San Jacinto Nuevo y Potrero]] in 1846.

==== County formation ====
The new county was created from parts of [[San Bernardino County, California|San Bernardino County]] and [[San Diego County, California|San Diego County]]. On May 2, 1893, seventy percent of voters approved the formation of Riverside County. Voters chose the city of Riverside as the county seat, also by a large margin. Riverside County was officially formed on May 9, 1893, when the Board of Commissioners filed the final canvass of the votes.<ref name=fitch1/>
Riverside county was a major focal point of the [[Civil Rights Movement]]s in the US, especially the African-American sections of Riverside and heavily Mexican-American communities of the Coachella Valley visited by [[Cesar Chavez]] of the farm labor union struggle.
Riverside county has also been a focus of modern [[Indigenous peoples of the Americas|Native American]] [[Native American gaming|Gaming]] enterprises. In the early 1980s, the county government attempted to shut down small bingo halls operated by the [[Morongo Band of Cahuilla Mission Indians]] and the [[Cabazon Band of Mission Indians]]. The tribes joined forces and fought the county all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled in the tribes' favor on February 25, 1987.<ref>''California v. Cabazon Band'', {{ussc|480|202|1987}}.</ref> In turn, Congress enacted the [[Indian Gaming Regulatory Act]] in 1988 to establish a legal framework for the relationship between Indian gaming and state governments. Naturally, both tribes now operate large casinos in the county: the [[Morongo Casino, Resort & Spa]] and the [[Fantasy Springs Resort Casino]] adjacent to [[Spotlight 29 Casino]].
