ABOUT THE CITY
Founded in 1870, and incorporated on April 9, 1888, San Jacinto is one of the County's oldest communities with roots that stretch back to the earliest days of California. The current population is just under 48,000 in San Jacinto’s 26 square miles, with an average population age of 31.6 years old.
San Jacinto is experiencing a revitalization in a variety of development projects, road and drainage improvements, and is growing at its fastest pace in well over 10 years.
The City is nearing the completion of a long awaited Downtown Specific Plan that it hopes will reinvigorate and revitalize its San Jacinto Main Street.
Additionally, the community is excited about the new economic growth inside the City - spurred by the development of the new 480,000 square foot Soboba Casino Resort, new retail establishments (Aldi Grocery, Starbucks Drive Thru, Wienerschnitzel Restaurant and Sonic Drive In, among others to come) and over 200 new homes permitted this calendar year.
