City Information: San Jacinto

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.

Because of its mild climate and fertile land, the region became home to Native Peoples, Spaniards, Mexicans and Americans – all of whom have made a unique and indelible imprint on the character of the valley.

Natural hot springs along the north side of the Valley stimulated the development of several tourist resorts with hotels, guest cabins and bath houses. Tourism had an impact on the Valley, beginning around 1900. Gilman Hot Springs was the best-known resort. It was originally developed in the 1880s, and was acquired in 1913 by the Gilman family, who ran the resort for 65 years. Soboba Hot Springs was also popular, with its Indian-style cottages scattered along the hillside. Further west was Eden Hot Springs.

The Estudillo Mansion is currently owned by the City of San Jacinto.  The City of San Jacinto successfully completed the interior and exterior Estudillo Mansion Restoration project. There has also been the addition of a Water Conservation Garden, parking lot and landscape improvements with a dedication event on May 16, 2009.

San Jacinto has a diverse business and job base that includes the manufacturing sector as well as the non-manufacturing sector of agriculture, retail and other support services. Principal manufacturing products include electronic components, mobile homes, casting and parts assembly. Retail, service and medical providers are also valued industries. The area’s labor force includes professional, skilled and semi-skilled workers.

San Jacinto offers a variety of affordable homes ranging in price from $85,000 to $220,000 is available for everyone from first-time buyers to retirees in San Jacinto. Seniors will find small, self contained communities of both mobile home parks and conventional homes.

Packing and Storage Tips

Let’s Start With The Ten Commandments of Self Storage

1. Use boxes that are the same in size – they will stack up much easier and utilize the space you have much better.
2. As you stack, place heavy boxes on the bottom and lighter on the top.  Seems logical but we have seen many a crumbled box.
3. Make sure that you leave walkways between boxes so you can have ready access.
4. Half full boxes tend to collapse easier during stacking.
5. Leave a little space between your unit walls and boxes – helps air circulate
6. Storing a refrigerator or washer/dryer? Leave doors slightly ajar – this can help prevent mold from growing.
7. NO flammables or combustibles allowed in any of the storage units.
8. Photo or Video document your stored items thoroughly.
9. Label your boxes for quick identification.
10. Bubble wrap and newspaper fragile items.

Preparing Your Items for Storage

Place smaller items in uniformly sized boxes. Completely fill each box with heavier items on the bottom and lighter items on the top. Uniformly sized boxes stack easier and conserve storage space.

»         Appliances. Clean and dry your appliances prior to storing.  Do not leave anything inside of appliances to be stored. Store all appliances upright with doors ajar to allow ventilation.

»         Blankets, Draperies and Clothing. Have blankets, draperies and clothing cleaned; then pack them on hangers in wardrobe boxes.

»         Books. Pack books flat, not standing on end. This will protect the spines, which will bend and warp over time if stood upright. Books are very heavy, so pack them in small boxes and don’t put them in boxes with other, more fragile items.

»         Breakable Items. Wrap breakable items inside bubble wrap and store with linens.

»         Dishes and Glassware. Store these items in specially made boxes called dishpacks. Dishpacks are worth every penny.

»         Furniture and Tables. Place blankets over furniture to protect from scratches and dust.

»         Label boxed items. You’ll know what is in each box without opening it.

»         Lawn Mowers. Drain gasoline and oil from all small engines. This precaution will protect both your stored property and the property of others from the dangers of fire and explosion.

»         Leather Items. Treat leather items (couches, clothes, etc.) with a leather conditioner prior to storing them. Keep furniture items off the floor by placing them on pallets.

»         Mattresses. Place mattresses in plastic slip-on covers to protect them from dust and moisture.

»         Mirrors and Pictures. Store mirrors and pictures inside similarly sized knocked down boxes. This affords them protection from scratches and dust.

»         Photos. Photographs tend to curl over time. To keep them flat, place between pieces of cardboard and tape them together. Do not store irreplaceable photos, photos and negatives take up very little space. Try to keep these items with you.

»         Pillows and Toys. It is smart to store smaller items like this in large plastic bags.

DO NOT STORE THESE ITEMS: Furs, jewelry and other expensive items, irreplaceable items, any living thing, used tires, firearms, explosives, flammables of any kind (gas, diesel, oil, paint, etc.), drugs or drug paraphernalia, stolen items, any type of hazardous items, perishable items of any kind, hazardous waste materials of any kind, items that produce odors or any item that will in any way make other tenants or the manager unhappy.

Organizing your Storage Unit

»         If you can, place wooden pallets or boards underneath furniture and boxes. This will prevent condensation from damaging them.

»         Leave a small airspace between your stored items and the wall of the storage unit for ventilation.

»         Store items that will not be needed to the rear of the storage locker, and items you will need to access toward the front of the unit.  This will save a lot of time and hassle.

»         Store heavy items on the bottom and lightweight items on top.

»         Store smaller, more valuable items to the rear of the storage locker and larger items toward the front of the storage locker.

»         Cover everything with plastic sheeting. Wooden furniture should first be covered with blankets to avoid abrasion and moisture damage. Plastic sheeting will protect your stored goods from both dust and water damage.

»         Pack your storage unit as tightly as possible. Tighter packing helps to protect stored items from moisture and dust and reduces the space needed to store your property.

»         Use a high quality disc (round) padlock to secure your storage locker. This type of lock is difficult to cut or break and offers maximum protection for very little money.
