History & History Related Items Perris history: By 1885, the residents of the San Jacinto valley began to desire a more convenient location for a town and land was purchased from the Southern Pacific Railroad for a town site. Fred T. Perris, of the California Southern Railroad, returned to the area to study the proposal of the local people for their town. In exchange for a new railroad station here, the people offered to build a depot, create a well and offered other benefits to the railroad. The station came to being on 1 April 1886 and rapid growth followed for several years. But after storms washed out the tracks several times in the Temecula Gorge, service through this route was stopped. Perris became an incorporated city in 1911. Here is a history page for Perris.
