Palm Springs
real estate Palm Springs, California. Palm Springs has a long and colorful history that dates back well into the 1800's. Once inhabited, like most other cities in the area by Indians, Palm Springs ended up being sold and progressed into a beautiful desert town. Palm Springs was incorporated in 1938 with Philip Boyd as the first Mayor. Hollywood discovered Palm Springs as early as about 1919. The desert was considered a choice filming spot for many silent movies, and stars such as Rudolph Valentino, Ernest Torrence, and Theda Bara could be easily spotted in town. Since then, Palm Springs has become known as "The Playground of the Stars." Many have had homes in the City or have stayed at famous places such as the El Mirador Hotel and Charles Farrell's Racquet Club. Spotting a movie star walking down the street, shopping or in a restaurant was a common occurrence and still is true today.
