Palm Springs was originally known as Agua Caliente (Spanish for "Hot Water"). In 1863, the area was chosen as a stop on the stagecoach line from Los Angeles to the New Mexico Territory. By the 1880's, it was becoming a residential community. John G. McCallum was the first permanent white settler in the area.
Incorporation for Palm Springs was voted for on April 1, 1938 and passed. Palm Springs became a city!

Palm Springs is known as a beautiful oasis in the desert. It is widely used as a fashionable winter resort. There are many fine golf courses in the area, as well as a community college and a botanical garden. A well-attended attraction is the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, which whisks riders to the top of Mt. San Jacinto (3301m/10,831 ft) and the cool mountain air. Near the city, and in fact, a portion of the community, is the Agua Caliente Indian Reservation.
