Hemet is a city located in southwestern Riverside County, in the San Jacinto Valley of Riverside County, California. It was formed in from local farm settlements around 1887 along with the Lake Hemet Water Company and the Hemet Land Company. The Hemet Dam was completed in 1895 on the San Jacinto River, creating Lake Hemet which provided a reliable water supply to the Valley and contributed to the development of the valley’s agricultural business. During this time the Hemet News newspaper was started and several general stores opened along with a hotel, drug store, blacksmith shops, lumber yards and two real estate offices. A power plant was constructed and a large flour mill opened. #hemet #homesforsale
Florida Avenue, Hemet CA (1940)
The city was officially incorporated in 1910- out of 177 residents, 130 voted to incorporate, and 33 voted against. The city predates the creation of Riverside County. Incorporation allowed the city’s infrastructure to grow and a railroad connection from Riverside lead to growth of its agricultural economy which included citrus, apricots, olives, peaches, and walnuts. Starting in 1936, the city hosted the “Hemet Turkey Show” for many years, followed by the “Agricultural District Farmer’s Fair of Riverside County”.

Palms, originally known as “The Palms” prior to the 1920’s, is a neighborhood in the west-side of Los Angeles. Founded around 1886, Palms is the first neighborhood to be annexed to Los Angeles, in 1915. Originally marketed as an area for agriculture and vacationing, Palms is today primarily a residential community, with single family homes, apartments, condominiums, and commercial zones. The area is named for the 5,000 palm trees said to be brought in and planted, along eight miles of streets near the Southern Pacific train depot, by land developers in 1886, with this year considered to be the birth date of Palms. While the neighborhood has no official boundaries, it is generally defined by Venice Blvd., the I-10, and the I-405.

In addition to single family homes, common architecture in Palms includes duplexes and triplexes, with most structures built in the Spanish Colonial or Craftsman style. During later years, larger multifamily buildings were constructed to provide more affordable housing after the City of Los Angeles rezoned most of the area. Properties in the area are highly sought after both as owner-occupied homes or as rentals which are in great demand. Palms is served by the Metro Expo Line and multiple bus routes.
