The founding of Hemet predates the formation of Riverside County. The formation of Lake Hemet helped the city to grow and stimulated agriculture in the area.

Hemet has been named a Tree City USA for 20 years by the Arbor Day Foundation for its dedication to the local forest.

Wine & Dine Spots- Steer 'n Stein Restaurant
- California Fish Grill
- Cuca's Mexican Food
- Little Angies
- Ono Hawaiian BBQ
Steer ‘n Stein was founded out of necessity on October 27, 1967 in Huntington Beach, California. I was unemployable, needed a job and place to eat, so I created all these for myself. It continues to exist today because the necessity still exists. Steer ’n Stein in Huntington Beach is no longer, but has branched out into locations throughout Southern California. Steer ‘n Stein was created without direction… some kind of dream… no recipes… and no money. Many, many years later we still have some kind of menu… no recipes… and lots of credit.
Established in 1989, Cuca's Mexican Food is a family owned and operated business. With locations in Inland Empire, Foothill Ranch and now Las Vegas.
Little Angies is a family-owned restaurant operated since 2007 located at 2110 E Florida Ave Hemet, CA 92545.
