In October 1880, the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad built a railroad from San Diego to Barstow that passed at Lake Elsinore. The material for the railway construction was from Antwerp, the locomotives supplied by the U.S. east coast. On August 14, 1882 The connection was already completed by Colton. The new route was known as the California Southern Railroad. She made sure that the former Rancho La Laguna, whose territory is now home to Wildomar, could develop.
A little later, Franklin decided Heald, who had already visited the area before, almost to buy the whole Rancho and should pay for the London and San Francisco Bank $ 24,000. After a down payment of $ 1,000 on July 3, 1883 he won William Collier and Donald Graham as a partner. On September 24, finally acquired the three the 51.93 km ² area thanks to an additional payment of $ 7,000 by William Collier. The balance has been paid little later.
On January 1, 1884 railroad depot was built in Wildomar today. It has been in operation for several years.

In February 1885 Collier and Graham bought the rights from Franklin Heald on an 11 -acre piece of land. He acquired his part ownership of an unsold area north of it.
In December 1885 Collier and Graham made a map of their village, which they called Wildomar. The place name is composed of the name of its founder: " WIL " by William Collier, "DO" by Donald Graham and " MAR " by Margaret Collier Graham, wife of Donald Graham and sister of William Collier.
