In the early 1800's, Mission San Luis Rey used the land for cattle ranching and called it Rancho San Jacinto. When the mission system broke down, the land was awarded to Jose Antonio Estudillo in 1842. Hemet, itself, began in 1887 when W.F. Whittier and E.L. Mayberry formed the Lake Hemet Water Company and the Hemet Land Company. Hemet Dam was constructed in the San Jacinto Mountains and finished in 1895. Lake Hemet, formed by the dam, gave the valley a reliable water distribution system which helped future development. Hemet was finally incorporated on 20 January of 1910 and became a center for the area.
