Palm Springs is the ancestral home of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians. They knew and recognized the area of Palm Springs as "The Palm of God's Hand".

The Village drew pioneers after the expansion of the Southern Pacific Railroad and created the oasis that eventually became known as the "Playground to the Stars" when the movie industry and it's elite stars began to frequently visit and build in the desert in the early 1900's.

Palm Springs has been able to increase it's international fame, not only from the vast array of past and present stars who reside throughout the desert and or it's surrounding area's, but also due to the famous "International Palm Springs Film Festival" which typically takes place in January each year. The late Sonny Bono founded the event and it brings amazingly gifted film makers of the world to Palm Springs and it's local theatres to showcase their master pieces. In August, "Palm Springs International Short Film Festival" showcases the industry's talented film-makers and animators.

Of course Palm Springs can be what you make of it, from adventure to sports, from fine dining to theatre. Palm Springs is the host to the famous Bob Hope Classic Golf Championships, Pacific Life Open International Tennis Tournaments to a vast array of fun activities. You can see some of the most amazing concerts or performances at one of the local theatre's; the Mc Callum Theatre in Palm Desert to the Annenburg Theatre located in downtown Palm Springs. You can have sporting adventure here through sky ballooning, sky diving, guided hikes, off road-driving, golfing on some of the best courses in the United States.
