Thank you for visiting one of our Hemet Shopping
site.
We've tried to put together a few items that you
might like to try.
Hemet,
incorporated in 1910, is located 35 miles southeast of
Riverside in a valley at the foot of Mount San Jacinto. The
city has developed into a major trading area for western
Riverside County and is growing into a very large sleeper
community for Riverside, Temecula and North San Diego
County.
The area was first inhabited by members of the Cahuilla
Indian tribe. In the early 1800's, it became a cattle ranch
for Mission San Luis Rey and called Rancho San Jacinto. When
the missions were broken up by the Mexican government, the
land was awarded to Jose Antonio Estudillo in 1842.
Since 1923, one of the valley's chief claims to fame has
been the annual Ramona Pageant, which usually plays
in May/June. The incident inspired Helen
Hunt Jackson to write Ramona, which occurred in the valley,
and later a movie was produced, being filmed in Warner
Springs. Be sure to attend this year's Ramona Pageant,
fun for the whole family!

* Degree days are a calculation
used to estimate heating and cooling
costs. Heating Degree Days is the
annual sum of the degrees above 68 for
each day's average temperature.
Cooling Degree Days is the annual sum
of the degrees below 68 for each day's
average temperature. How is this
meaningful? If there is a predominance
of one type of degree day over
another; that indicates either a very
hot or very cold environment. If both
numbers are large, that generally
indicates a very variable climate. If
both numbers are small, that generally
indicates a more consistent climate.
