Inscription.
A one-room eight-grade East Vale school house opened in fall 1896, three years after East Vale Elementary School District was formed with Riverside County. This school house occupied a portion of the 3,000 acre Fuller Ranch.
The origin of the name "Eastvale" is unknown. Theories include the fact that Harrison Fuller, the Fuller family patriarch, was born near Eastvale, Pennsylvania; the new school district was just east of Valley School district; and most of the new school district was east of Vale ranch.
Proposals leading to the city's incorporation adopted the name "Eastvale" in 2007.

Erected 2014 by City of Eastvale.
