426-San Jacinto Mtn, Lake Hemet Dam, The Largest Solid Masonry Dam in the World

Lake Hemet Dam, The Largest Solid Masonry Dam in the World! Development of the San Jacinto Valley can be traced to 1887, with the formation of the Lake Hemet Water Company and the Hemet Land Company by Edward L. Mayberry, his wealthy San Francisco friend, William F. Whittier, and their partners. These two companies allowed the partnership to acquire land and water rights from the San Jacinto Valley to the west end of Garner Valley in the San Jacinto Mountains. Lake Hemet Water Company placed the first stone of the Hemet Dam on January 6, 1891. When this arched masonry structure was completed in 1895 at a height of 122.5 feet, it was the largest solid masonry dam in the world, a title it would retain until the construction of Roosevelt Dam in Arizona in 1911. In 1923, the Hemet dam was raised to a height of 135 feet. In the early 1890s, Lake Hemet Dam, one of the engineering marvels of its time, was constructed in the San Jacinto Mountains, above todays city of Hemet. Without it, the city may never have existed. This movie will be included as part of the Winchester Ca. "About this Place" series.
