Description:
About 1884, in a place called Summit, a small town began to develop. It became known as San Gorgonio, and then eventually
Beaumont in the early 1900's when developers Kenneth Smoot and Claredon Eyer changed the name. Beginning with the all important
railroad depot, the little town then added a telegraph office in 1875. At that time George C. Egan bought railroad land and
procured other lands so that he owned practically the whole town site in and around the present town of Beaumont. Egan built
a house, seen here, north of the town site and established a ranch and winery there. Egan Ranch was eventually bought and
renamed Edgar Ranch.
