Beaumont
The United States of America is a country in North America that extends from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean and shares land borders with Canada and Mexico. The United States is a federal constitutional republic, with its capital in Washington, D.C., District of Columbia.
Beaumont is a city in Riverside County, California, United States. The population was 11,384 at the 2000 census. According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 70.4 square kilometers.
During the early 1850's many surverying parties passed through the vicinity of present-day Beaumont in search of a pass that would connect the east to the Pacific Ocean. The San Gorgonio Pass was discovered in 1853 by a surverying expedition under Lieutenant R.S. Williamson, who was sent by the United States government. Its discovery enthralled many who now saw connecting to the ocean a feasible measure and led to plans for connecting a railway from the Missouri River to the Pacific. By the early 1860s the Union Pacific Railroad had erected tracks through the modern-day location of Beaumont. At the summit of the pass, a site was founded and named Edgar Station after a physician from one of the pass original expedition parties.
In the city the population was spread out with 33.0 percent under the age of 18, 9.9 percent from 18 to 24, 29.1 percent from 25 to 44, 17.3 percent from 45 to 64, and 10.7 percent who were 65 years of age or older.
Beaumont is definitely one of the popular tourist attractions in United States worth paying a visit while touring the country. This place leaves a pleasing and unforgettable memory and justifies the proud cultural tradition of United States.
