Used to be that the Cahuila Indians who occupied the area where Palm Springs now rests would move from Palm Canyon in the winter to Chino Canyon in the summer. The same pattern, but on a much broader scale, in inherent in the "snowbird" culture that brings many people to enjoy the winters in Palm Springs and then migrate to other climes to avoid the blistering summers. But there are also some 44,000 who claim the city as their permanent residence.

There still are evidences of the Cahuila era in petroglyphs, pictographs and mortar holes in Andreas, Tahquitz, Chino and Indian canyons, but today's Palm Springs is a long cry from those olden days. It has been a magnet for the rich and famous for decades, dating back to the late 1800s. In 1876 it was made part of the Agua Caliente Reservation, consisting of 31,128 acres of prime desert land. The reservation is on a long lease arrangement and the popularity of the white community makes it one of the wealthiest Indian reservations in the country.

The complex land arrangement, with alternate reservation and U.S.-controlled lands, was created to facilitate the building of the Southern Pacific Railroad through the Sonoran Desert lands.

Jack Summers was one of the entrepreneurs who jumped on the opportunity to benefit from transportation development in the area. He built a stagecoach station in 1862. When the railroad chose a route six miles away, his business essentially tanked. Visionaries who saw agricultural opportunities in the area fought first flooding and then drought, but hung in.

Palm Spring's reputation as a resort began in the early 1900s when it became a mecca for people whose doctors recommended a dry climate. Among early visitors was naturalist John Muir, U.S. Vice President Charles Fairbanks and Fanny Stevenson, widow of author Robert Louis Stevenson. Dr. Harry and Mrs. Nellie N. Coffman established the Desert Inn as a hotel/sanitarium in 1909 and the Oasis Hotel, the brainchild of the McManus family, followed in 1924. Before long, the whole area was jumping with resort services that catered to a wealthy clientele. A unique architectural style was part of the development. Movie personnel gathered in little colonies. Golfing and tennis replaced health spas as primary activities.

Among those who eventually came to Palm Springs as long-term residents were people trained as notaries. A growing population needed the services they provide, witnessing and putting an official seal to personal documents ranging from wills to deeds to powers of attorney to a whole bundle of other papers that must be notarized to pass legal muster. They are available at a phone call to meet with a client wherever the client chooses to meet. That is why they are called mobile or traveling notaries. For instance, if you are interested in the extensive involvement of Palm Springs in World War II, you could meet a notary at the Palm Springs Air Museum. The Art Museum is another alternative. Could be a notary would even be willing to take care of personal business at one of the terminals of the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, which takes folks to the tops of the surrounding mountains, a bit removed from the most intense heat and with a dazzling view of the desert.

The list of the rich and notable who have had or have homes in Palm Springs reads like a who'e who. They come out in droves for such events as the Palm Springs International Film Festival and the International Festival of Short Films, held in January and June respectively. The Agua Caliente Cultural Museum hosts an annual Festival of Native Film and Culture at the Camelot Theaters.
