Palm Springs was incorporated in 1938 with a population of 1780. In 1853, a government survey party discovered large diameter mineral water pools thus creating a water source for survival. The first wagon train route to Palm Springs was established in 1872 and in 1877 marked the completion of the first railroad through Palm Springs that now includes Amtrak service stops. Today, the permanent population for the Coachella Valley is 275,000 and is made up of 13 cities.
