Cabazon, California One of the Cabazon dinosaurs One of the Cabazon dinosaurs Location in Riverside County and the state of California Location in Riverside County and the state of California Cabazon is positioned in the US Cabazon - Cabazon State California Cabazon is a census-designated place (CDP) in Riverside County, California, United States.
In 1884 a new town was laid out by the Scottish-owned Cabazon Land and Water Company which established a fruit farm.
Cabazon was incorporated as a town/city on November 1, 1955. The chief advantage of incorporating at the time was that under California law, incorporated metros/cities could host cardrooms while unincorporated areas could not. Over the next 16 years, the town/city struggled with scandal, political instability, and stalled growth, as cardroom operators vied with other landowners and inhabitants for control of the town/city government. In its first seven years alone, the town/city went through 18 police chiefs and 21 City Council members. A key dispute was between inhabitants who desired to see Cabazon advanced into a lush resort town/city like Palm Springs to the east, versus cardroom owners who desired to keep Cabazon's populace small so that the town/city government's operating costs (and hence their taxes) would remain low and not impinge on their profits. At one point the town/city was able to raise as much as $19,000 per year by turning then-U.S.
Route 60 was decommissioned. The final straw was when a cardroom initiated an unsuccessful legal challenge to the City Council's attempt to raise the license fee charged to cardrooms, which only further infuriated landowners and inhabitants who did not work at or otherwise benefit from the city's cardrooms and crystallized their preference to shut down the town/city so that the cardrooms would also be forced to shut down. On September 14, 1971, the city's electorate voted in a special election 192 to 131 in favor of disincorporation. The election results were upheld by the state courts, and the town/city government disincorporated in 1972. Discussions about reincorporating the region have been reported intermittently amid the 2000s. Cabazon is positioned at 33 54 33 N 116 45 59 W (33.909086 -116.766373).

Claude Bell's enormous dinosaur sculptures are icons of roadside America: while many have grown up with them along the highway in southern California, the rest may also remember them from various films and videos, perhaps most famously Pee-wee's Big Adventure. The site features two sculptures: a 150-ton building in the shape of a larger-than-life-sized Apatosaurus (begun in 1964, instead of in 1975), and a 100-ton Tyrannosaurus rex structure (built in 1981).
