Renting an Apartment in San Jacinto
San Jacinto is a city in Riverside County, California, U.S.A. As of the 2000
census, the city population was 23,779. Long-time residents of San Jacinto, the
Warneke's, have helped improve the local community and it's awareness of the
town's history. Jack and Nancy Warneke are the Presidents of the San Jacinto
Museum. The Museum recently moved locations to the site of the Estudillo
Mansion, after suffering water damage at its old location on Main Street. San
Jacinto has attracted people for Las Vegas-style gambling with the Soboba
Springs Casino on the nearby Soboba Indian Reservation. The Casino was recently
robbed for over 1 million dollars in August 2007. Mount San Jacinto College, a
junior community college serves the Inland Empire region for over 40 years, and
the ballpark is home to the semi-pro collegiate team, the Sou-Cal Tremors.
The city of San Jacinto was founded in 1870, and was incorporated on April 9th,
1888, making it one of the oldest cities in Riverside County(actually predating
the County itself, which was created by the division of northern San Diego
County and part of what is now San Bernardino County in May 1893) . The city was
struck by two large earthquakes, one on Christmas day, 1899, and the other on
April 21, 1918.
In 1937, San Jacinto was the end point for the longest uninterrupted airplane
flight to that point: Mikhail Mikhailovich Gromov's 6262 mile polar flight from
Moscow USSR in an Tupolev ANT-25 on July 15th. This flight was part of the
Soviets push to improve morale in the USSR by earning milestones in flight
records.There is a stone marker commemorating this event erected in the early
1950's by the fraternal group E Clampus Vitus and the Riverside County
Department of Transportation located on Cottonwood Avenue just west of Sanderson
Road in west-central San Jacinto.
The San Jacinto Police Department was disbanded in June 2004 over the objections
of residents, who claimed that losing local control of certain city
services(regardless of cost) is tantamount to disincorporation, a claim that
city officials deny. The city now has a 5-year contract with the Riverside
County Sheriff's Department. A similar event occurred a year earlier when the
city's fire department was disbanded in favor of a money-saving contract with
the Riverside County Fire Department through a cooperative agreement with Cal
Fire(California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection).
The City is rapidly expanding its shopping choices for its residents, with the
opening in May 2007 of the largest Wal-Mart Supercenter in the state on San
Jacinto Ave. (State Highway 79).
In 2007, new housing tracts are being developed in San Jacinto between Palm Ave
and Warren Road north of Esplande Ave., of which will further expand the city's
population in the years to come.
