History of Desert Hot SpringsDesert Hot Springs boasts a rich history centered around its renowned hot springs. The area was initially inhabited by the Cahuilla Native Americans, who utilized the natural hot springs for their therapeutic properties. In the early 20th century, the health benefits of these springs began to attract attention beyond the local population. L.W. Coffee, recognizing the potential of the hot springs, purchased land and established a health resort in the 1940s, laying the foundation for the city's development. The city was officially incorporated in 1963, spurred by the growing popularity of its hot mineral waters among those seeking health and relaxation. Throughout the years, Desert Hot Springs has grown into a unique desert community, maintaining its reputation for spa services and wellness tourism and leveraging its natural resources to foster a distinctive character among California's desert cities.
