History
The area was originally known as the Old MacDonald Ranch , but after planting palm trees in 1920, the name changed to Palm Village . The first residential buildings date back to 1943 due to the fact that the American army camp was in that area. In 1948, Palm Desert Corporation began construction of real estate, and already in 1951 the district was given its current name. At the same time, Palm Desert was the planned desert settlement that connects Palm Springs and Indio . The community was registered on November 26, 1973, with only 1,500 permanent residents.
