History of LaQuinta, CA
Colonial LaQuinta history
The area of La Quinta was first established in the early 18th
century by Spanish conquistadores
under the command of Captain Juan
Bautista De Anza, as the fifth resting point for travellers along
the route from present-day Mexico
to the San
Gabriel Missions of Los
Angeles and present-day Riverside
and San
Bernardino 60–100 miles away. The words "la quinta"
are Spanish,
translating to "the fifth". More specifically, the word
"quinta" is known in Mexico as a type of hacienda.
Spanish and later Mexican settlement in the "East Valley"
(Eastern Coachella Valley) was sparse, most residents were members of
the indigenous Cahuilla
tribe. The earliest records of any inhabitation of La Quinta and other
communities was in 1823, after Mexico declared independence from
Spain, prior to California's annexation by the United States in 1848.
Modern
development and incorporation of LaQuinta
In the late-19th century and early-20th century (1880–1920),
agriculture developed in present-day La Quinta and "East
Valley" by pre-modern (mountain water runoff or open water
springs) and modern irrigation techniques. At the time, California and
federal land surveyors declared the sand dunes uninhabitable, only the
hard rock ground of the "Marshall Cove" held potential
farming and residential development.
In 1927, Walter Morgan established the La
Quinta Resort at the northern section of "Marshall
Cove", as a type of secluded hideaway for nearby Hollywood's
celebrities and socialites. The Resort was the site for the Coachella
Valley's first golf
course, coinciding with the construction and pavement of State
Route 111 in the 1930s. Further expansion of Washington Street in
the 1950s and 1960s connected La Quinta with US Highways 60
and 99
(became Interstate
10 in the 1970s).
As nearby desert cities grew to capacity, La Quinta's growth rose
dramatically by the mid-1990s, which led to its incorporation as a
city in Riverside
County in 1982. In the 1980 census, La Quinta had 4,200 residents,
then increased to 11,215 by 1990 in the city's early phases of
residential area growth. Once predominantly a part-time community
until the early-1990s, more full-time residents live in La Quinta to
make it possibly more populous than Palm Springs by 2006, according to
some demographers.

Over California was actually shot at the world-famous PGA West

LaQuinta Tourism
The city enjoys a healthy tourism industry, especially during the
cooler winter months in which "snowbird"
tourists arrive. The most prominent industry is golfing
with more than twenty golf courses, including the world-famous PGA
West, which has hosted prestigious tournaments such as The
Skins Game, Bob Hope Chrysler Classic, The Grand Slam of Golf, The
Legends of Golf, as well as the PGA Tour Qualifying
School.. La Quinta has increased the number of retail shopping
centers, both discount (Target
and Home
Depot), and high-end retailers (Kohl's
and Stein
Mart) brought millions of revenue dollars to the city, and the
city council hopes for La Quinta to share a reputation for shoppers
like Palm Desert (El Paseo) and Palm Springs (the Village and Palm
Canyon) by the end of the decade.
Service
Industries in LaQuinta
In addition to standard service industries, La Quinta is the site
of the first Wal-Mart
Supercenter in California. Moreover many residents work for the
tourist industries in hotels, resorts, golf courses, and nearby
Vegas-style casinos, such as: Spa Resort Casino, Agua
Caliente Casino, Spotlight 29, Fantasy Springs and Augustine
Casino. There are many service industry jobs related to the
construction, hotel, landscaping, and retail industries. La Quinta has
sought to bring in high-paying professional businesses to the city and
has benefited from neighboring cities' growth (LaQuinta, Palm Desert and
Palm Springs). The city's downtown commercial district is officially
known as "The Village." The Village District
includes private commercial developments such as "Old Town"
and "Plaza Calle Tampico," and contains many
professional offices, the City museum, small tourist-oriented shops
and boutiques, and several restaurants.
