Indio California was incorporated in 1930 and is the oldest and largest city in the Coachella Valley. The current population is over 80,000  residents. The City  began life as a railroad town, with the Southern Pacific Railroad Depot.  Golf has always been a part of that history with records showing the second Golf Course built in the city about 1947 – now know as Indian Palms Country Club.

 Agriculture played a big part in the history of the city and the Date was the king of it all.  For many years the city was called the Date Capital of the United States and since the 1940’s has played host to the National Date Festival.  In modern times during Desert Storm in the 1990’s millions of pounds of Indio Dates were airlifted to the Middle east to feed the refugees from the conflict there.

Today Indio is a diverse community with a strong commercial segment, the Fair Grounds, golf resorts, planned developments, condos, a major hospital and the County Court systems within city limits.

Indio plays host to two of the fastest growing music festivals in the country Coachella Fest and Stagecoach Festival as well as Art shows, the Tamale Festival and the National Date festival. 

Some of the Indio advantages include lower business costs and a higher quality of life, low-cost utilities, quality public services, State Enterprise Zone tax benefits, business-friendly government and location, location, location.
