Hemet, in Riverside County, California, was a young agricultural town in 1915, built around the citrus groves, deciduous fruit orchards, and alfalfa fields of the San Jacinto Valley. The Hemet Land Company had platted the townsite in the 1880s, and the arrival of the Santa Fe rail line made shipping fruit to eastern markets practical. By the mid-1910s the community was known for its apricots, grapes, and a growing dairy and poultry trade, while its water came largely from irrigation schemes that tied the valley's farms to reservoirs in the surrounding hills. Local life centered on the main business streets, churches, and schools, and residents were increasingly drawn into the regional boosterism that promoted Southern California as a place for small landowners and health seekers.
