The cities initial growth came from to ironic events and the dedication of two wealthy men. The first event was the visit from author Helen Hunt Jackson made to the valley in 1883 in order to gather material on the Sobobas, a group of Mission Indieans living on the east side of the San Jacinto River.
She brought along a interpreter, Abbot Kinney.
During their visit, Jackson and Kinney stayed at various ranches and met Charles Thomas and Hancock McClung Johnston who owned ranches in the mountains. They raised race horses.
I love horses and would love to go to the races one day.
I have been one time as a teen. I didnt like it though. Just me..
Nice ranches they had for the horses.
No doubt, with lots of room to run.
