About Beaumont, California

Beaumont proudly offers a rich history and rural charm. Originally settled in the mid-1800s as a stop along the Southern Pacific Railroad, people drawn to the beautiful mountain views, crisp air and abundance of apple orchards remained in the area and the City of Beaumont was incorporated on November 18, 1912. Beaumont, French for “Beautiful Mountain”, received its name in 1887 from Henry C. Sigler, president of the Southern California Investment Company, for its view of Mount San Jacinto.

Beaumont is a vibrant City whose charm is exceeded only by the remarkable people who call it home. While times have changed, the friendliness and hospitality that recall a simpler era have not. In Beaumont, residents enjoy a way of life that includes not only the charming characteristics of a small town, but all of the amenities of a dynamic suburban environment.

Strategically located at the intersection of Interstate 10, Highway 60, and Highway 79, Beaumont offers exceptional development opportunities to new or expanding businesses. The city’s immediate market area population currently exceeds 120,000 (15 mile radius) and with strong growth projected to occur for several more decades, Beaumont will remain a highly desirable location for new investments.
