One possible origin of palm in the place name comes from early Spanish explorers who referred to the region as La Palma de la Mano de Dios or "The Palm of God's hand". The earliest use of the name "Palm Springs" is from United States Topographical Engineers who used the term in 1853 maps. According to William Bright, when the word "palm" appears in Californian place names, it usually refers to the native California fan palm, Washingtonia filifera, which is abundant in the Palm Springs area. Other early names were "Palmetto Spring" and "Big Palm Springs". The first European resident in Palm Springs itself was Jack Summers, who ran the stagecoach station on the Bradshaw Trail in 1862.:44, 149 Fourteen years later (1876), the Southern Pacific barns was laid 6 miles to the north, isolating the station.:17 In 1880, small-town Indian Pedro Chino was selling parcels near the springs to William Van Slyke and Mathew Bryne in a series of questionable transactions; they in turn brought in W.

Kaufmann Desert House, Palm Springs, by Richard Neutra Culver (2010) argues that Palm Springs architecture became the model for mass-produced suburban housing, especially in the Southwest.
While not everyone could have a Neutra masterpiece, many families could adopt aspects of Palm Springs modern." As Culver (2010) explains: "The bohemian sexual and marital mores already apparent in Hollywood intersected with the resort atmosphere of Palm Springs, and this new, more open sexuality would gradually appear elsewhere in nationwide tourist culture." During this period, the town/city government, stimulated by real estate developers systematically removed and excluded poor citizens and Indians. Palm Springs was pictured by the French photographer Robert Doisneau in November 1960 as part of an assignment for Fortune on the assembly of golf courses in this especially dry and hot region of the Colorado desert.
At the time, Palm Springs counted just 19 courses, which had grown to 125 by 2010. through Palm Springs' downtown village in the 1950s Similar to the pre-war era, Palm Springs remained prominent with the rich and famous of Hollywood, as well as retirees and Canadian tourists.

While Palm Springs faced competition from the desert metros/cities to the east in the later 1980s, it has continued to prosper into the 21st century. Glamorized as a destination in the 1963 movie Palm Springs Weekend, the number of visitors interval and at times the gatherings had problems.
In 1969 an estimated 15,000 citizens had gathered for a concert at the Palm Springs Angel Stadium and 300 were arrested for drunkenness or disturbing the peace. In the 1980s 10,000+ college students would visit the town/city and form crowds and parties and another rampage occurred in 1986 when Palm Springs Police in brawl gear had to put down the rowdy crowd. In 1990, due to complaints by residents, mayor Sonny Bono and the town/city council closed the city's Palm Canyon Drive to Spring Breakers and the downtown businesses lost cash normally filled by the tourists. Following the recession of the late 2000s/early 2010s, Palm Springs is revitalizing its Downtown or "the Village".
