When the Southern Pacific Railroad completed its route through the California desert more than 100 years ago, an oasis of palm trees, natural waterfalls and hot mineral springs at the base of towering mountains became accessible to travelers. Thus began the tourism industry in Palm Springs–birthplace to today’s desert resort living in the Coachella Valley.
As the western gateway of the Coachella Valley, Palm Springs draws visitors from all over the world with its beautiful landscape, rich culture, fine restaurants, spectacular resorts, outstanding attractions, and prosperous business climate.
Incorporated in 1938, Palm Springs offers residents and visitors the culture, sophistication, and opportunity usually reserved for large metropolitan areas. An attractive destination for visitors and many who will make Palm Springs their home, the city is enriched with culture, history, and more importantly a strong sense of community.
