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. The city, one of Riverside County's largest apple growers, was dubbed "the land of the big red apple" by local residents in its early years. Since 2000, with Beaumont's proximity to Los Angeles, various Southern California residents have moved to the San Gorgonio Pass region for its low housing cost, causing a 20% jump in the city's population. In late 2003, the majority of the Potrero Canyon site was sold to the state of California. Toxic chemicals used in rocket fuel and site test activities have been found in the soil and groundwater at the site, and planning is underway to begin cleanup sometime in the next few years. Plans are being developed by the California Department of Fish and Game to allow public access to the site. A 2008 study by the Policy Institute of California noted that the nearby communities of Banning, Calimesa, and Cherry Valley have registered the highest population growth throughout Riverside County. The population of the city is projected to increase by 4.5% a year to 310,000 by 2015, making it the fastest growing city in the state. A Cold War-era Lockheed rocket test site operated by Simi Valleybased Rocketdyne was established south of the town in Potrero canyon in the early 20th century. The area is home to many master-planned communities that are currently under construction or under construction.

Since 2000, with Beaumont's proximity to Los Angeles, various Southern California residents have moved to the San Gorgonio Pass region for its low housing cost, causing a 20% jump in the city's population. In late 2003, the majority of the Potrero Canyon site was sold to the state of California.
