It is the namesake and easternmost city of the\nCoachella Valley\n, in\nSouthern California\n's\nColorado Desert\n. Originally a railroad town, Coachella is a prominent hub for agriculture and shipping across Southern California and the Western United States.\n[\n7\n]\nCoachella had a population of 41,941 in the\n2020 Census\n. The city is officially bilingual in\nEnglish\nand\nSpanish\n,\n[\n5\n]\nwith 90% of people speaking Spanish.\n[\n8\n]\nThe city was founded as\nWoodspur\nin 1876, when the\nSouthern Pacific Railroad\nbuilt a\nrail siding\non the site. In the 1880s the indigenous\nCahuilla\ntribe sold their land plots to the railroads for new lands east of the current town site, and in the 1890s, a few hundred\ntraqueros\nsettled along the tracks. In 1901, the citizens of Woodspur voted on a new name for their community and at a town hall meeting settled on \"Coachella\".\n[\n9\n]\nThe origin of the name\nCoachella\nis unclear. Some locals believe it was a misspelling of\nconchilla\n, a Spanish word for the small white snail shells found in the valley's sandy soil, vestiges of a lake that dried up over 3,000 years ago.\nCoachella began as a 2.5-square-mile (6.5 km\n2\n) territory gridded out on the mesquite-covered desert floor. Coachella became a city in 1946. During the incorporation voting process, the first city council was tentatively elected.\nIn the 1950s Coachella begin to expand into its range, about 32 square miles (83 km\n2\n), an area which contained large year-round agricultural corporate farms and fruit groves, particularly of\ncitrus\n(lemons, oranges, grapefruit) and\ndate palms\n.\nBy the 1980 census, Coachella's population had reached at least 10,000 due to relatively slow population growth. Due to a high percentage of Hispanics in the city, Coachella was a scene of\nChicano\npolitical activism. The agricultural area surrounding Coachella was where the\nUnited Farm Workers\nunion staged strikes and protests, including visits by UFW leader\nCésar Chávez\nin the 1960s and 1970s. In 2018, Harrison Street (the main street in town) was renamed for him.\n[\n10\n]\nIn 1995, state and federal officials designated Coachella as part of the\nCoachella Valley Enterprise Zone\nto boost economic activity and entice businesses to relocate to this rural city which was once home to several fruit shipping plants.\nIn 2010, a Coca-Cola bottling facility (a\nLEED\ncertified building) was added to the city's new light industry facilities, a boon in the rapid-growth community which has a currently troubled economy.\n[\n11\n]\nAccording to the\nUnited States Census Bureau\n, the city has a total area of 30.08 square miles (77.9 km\n2\n), all of it land.\n[\n3\n]\nThe elevation is 68 feet (21 m) below sea level, as the eastern half of the Coachella Valley is below sea level. The saltwater lake,\nSalton Sea\n, 10 miles (16 km) south of Coachella, is 228 feet (69 m) below sea level.\nThis climate is dominated in all months by the subtropical\nanticyclone\n, or subtropical high, with its descending air, elevated inversions, and clear skies. Although only a short distance from\nBanning, California\nwhich has a warm-summer Mediterranean climate, it also lies in a\nrainshadow\nthat allows Coachella only about one-fourth the precipitation of Banning. The\nKöppen Climate Classification\nsubtype for this climate is\n\"Bwh\"\n.

The city is officially bilingual in the English and Spanish languages, though city council meetings are held in English.

Some have\ndirt roads\nand frequent\npower outages\n, or\ndrinking water supplies\ncontaminated with\narsenic\nor\nhexavalent chromium\n. It is uncertain whether it would be more practical to bring in city water and\nsewer lines\n, or to simply start over with new developments. Given that a recent 181-unit development, Mountain View Estates, required over 28 million dollars in funding, the nonprofit Pueblo Unido Community Development Corp. is pushing for code upgrades of existing facilities. A court case which alleged that the county had made an intentional effort to close trailer parks with Latino populations was settled in 2000. The US$21 million from the settlement was used to build three farmworker housing projects. As of 2015, dirt roads in 35 trailer parks are being paved as part of a US$3.4 million county project.\n[\n32\n]\nCoachella expanded recreational and social activities for which residents once had to drive 10 or 20 miles (16 or 32 km) west. The city has a recreation center, a\nBoys and Girls Club\ncenter, and a\nboxing\nclub in Bagdouma Park. There are two dance clubs and the Corona Yacht Club located near Spotlight 29 casino; two new golf courses (Desert Lakes and the Vineyards) attract many retirees,\nRV\nowners, and local business people.\nEvents and points of interest\n[\nedit\n]\nThree popular fiestas are celebrated each year in town:\nCinco de Mayo\n(May 5), the 16 de Septiembre\nFiestas Patrias\n(Mexico's Independence from Spain) and the 12 de Diciembre (the patron saint of Mexico,\nSanta Maria de Guadalupe\n) to celebrate the\nVirgin Mary\n.\nCoachella Valley Music and Arts Festival\nCoachella Valley Radio Control Club\nShady Lane Mural\n[\n33\n]\nThe film director\nFrank Capra\nis interred in the Coachella Valley Cemetery.\nThe\nCoachella Football Club\nis a semi-professional\nAmerican soccer\nteam based in Coachella.

Its main high school is\nCoachella Valley High School\n(with 2900 students) followed by a new high school,\nDesert Mirage High School\n, about 5 miles to the south; its three middle schools are Cahuilla Desert Academy, Toro Canyon, and Bobby Duke. Elementary schools include Cesar Chavez, Coral Mountain Academy, Palm View, Peter Pendleton, Valle Del Sol, Valley View, Westside and in nearby Thermal, John Kelley.\nThe Coachella Valley Adult School, in operation since 1952, is the third-largest adult school in Riverside County. It offers seven levels of\nEnglish as a Second Language\n(ESL), and has offered citizenship classes for over 20 years. In the last ten years, over 1,500 people completed citizenship classes at the school and submitted\nN-400\nforms.\nThe\nRiverside County Sheriff's Department\nprovides law enforcement for the city from the nearby Thermal Regional Station. The original Coachella Police Department was absorbed by the Sheriff's Department in 1998.\nThe city of Coachella contracts for fire and paramedic services with the Riverside County Fire Department through a cooperative agreement with\nCAL FIRE\n.\n[\n38\n]\nNear Coachella, a new four-lane expressway,\nState Route 86\n, was built for international trucking from\nMexicali, Mexico\nto Los Angeles or Arizona. Referred to as the \"NAFTA highway\" (in reference to the\nNorth American Free Trade Agreement\ntook effect in 1994), it replaces an older and less safe two-lane road known as the \"killer highway, deadly highway, and death highway\" where over 400 auto accident fatalities took place since 1980.\nA plan is being developed for new passenger rail service that would span approximately 144 miles from Los Angeles Union Station (LAUS) to Coachella.

In the 1880s the indigenous [Cahuilla](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cahuilla \"Cahuilla\") tribe sold their land plots to the railroads for new lands east of the current town site, and in the 1890s, a few hundred [traqueros](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Traquero \"Traquero\") settled along the tracks. In 1901, the citizens of Woodspur voted on a new name for their community and at a town hall meeting settled on \"Coachella\".[\\[9\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Coachella,_California#cite_note-10)\n\nThe origin of the name *Coachella* is unclear. Some locals believe it was a misspelling of *conchilla*, a Spanish word for the small white snail shells found in the valley's sandy soil, vestiges of a lake that dried up over 3,000 years ago.\n\nCoachella began as a 2.5-square-mile (6.5 km2) territory gridded out on the mesquite-covered desert floor. Coachella became a city in 1946. During the incorporation voting process, the first city council was tentatively elected.\n\nIn the 1950s Coachella begin to expand into its range, about 32 square miles (83 km2), an area which contained large year-round agricultural corporate farms and fruit groves, particularly of [citrus](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Citrus \"Citrus\") (lemons, oranges, grapefruit) and [date palms](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Date_palm \"Date palm\").\n\nBy the 1980 census, Coachella's population had reached at least 10,000 due to relatively slow population growth. Due to a high percentage of Hispanics in the city, Coachella was a scene of [Chicano](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Chicano \"Chicano\") political activism. The agricultural area surrounding Coachella was where the [United Farm Workers](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/United_Farm_Workers \"United Farm Workers\") union staged strikes and protests, including visits by UFW leader [César Chávez](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/C%C3%A9sar_Ch%C3%A1vez \"César Chávez\") in the 1960s and 1970s. In 2018, Harrison Street (the main street in town) was renamed for him.[\\[10\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Coachella,_California#cite_note-11)\n\nIn 1995, state and federal officials designated Coachella as part of the [Coachella Valley Enterprise Zone](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Coachella_Valley_Enterprise_Zone \"Coachella Valley Enterprise Zone\") to boost economic activity and entice businesses to relocate to this rural city which was once home to several fruit shipping plants.\n\nIn 2010, a Coca-Cola bottling facility (a [LEED](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Leadership_in_Energy_and_Environmental_Design \"Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design\") certified building) was added to the city's new light industry facilities, a boon in the rapid-growth community which has a currently troubled economy.[\\[11\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Coachella,_California#cite_note-12)\n\n## Geography\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Coachella,_California&action=edit&section=2 \"Edit section: Geography\")\\]\n\nAccording to the [United States Census Bureau](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/United_States_Census_Bureau \"United States Census Bureau\"), the city has a total area of 30.08 square miles (77.9 km2), all of it land.[\\[3\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Coachella,_California#cite_note-CenPopGazetteer2020-3)\n\nThe elevation is 68 feet (21 m) below sea level, as the eastern half of the Coachella Valley is below sea level. The saltwater lake, [Salton Sea](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Salton_Sea \"Salton Sea\"), 10 miles (16 km) south of Coachella, is 228 feet (69 m) below sea level.\n\n### Climate\n\\[[edit](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Coachella,_California&action=edit&section=3 \"Edit section: Climate\")\\]\n\nThis climate is dominated in all months by the subtropical [anticyclone](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Anticyclone \"Anticyclone\"), or subtropical high, with its descending air, elevated inversions, and clear skies. Although only a short distance from [Banning, California](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Banning,_California \"Banning, California\") which has a warm-summer Mediterranean climate, it also lies in a [rainshadow](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rainshadow \"Rainshadow\") that allows Coachella only about one-fourth the precipitation of Banning.

California](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Riverside_County,_California \"Riverside County, California\"), United States. It is the namesake and easternmost city of the [Coachella Valley](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Coachella_Valley \"Coachella Valley\"), in [Southern California](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Southern_California \"Southern California\")'s [Colorado Desert](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Colorado_Desert \"Colorado Desert\"). Originally a railroad town, Coachella is a prominent hub for agriculture and shipping across Southern California and the Western United States.[\\[7\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Coachella,_California#cite_note-8)\n\nCoachella had a population of 41,941 in the [2020 Census](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/2020_United_States_census \"2020 United States census\"). The city is officially bilingual in [English](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/California_English \"California English\") and [Spanish](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Spanish_language_in_California \"Spanish language in California\"),[\\[5\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Coachella,_California#cite_note-bvmag-5) with 90% of people speaking Spanish.[\\[8\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Coachella,_California#cite_note-9)\n\nThe city was founded as **Woodspur** in 1876, when the [Southern Pacific Railroad](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Southern_Pacific_Railroad \"Southern Pacific Railroad\") built a [rail siding](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rail_siding \"Rail siding\") on the site. In the 1880s the indigenous [Cahuilla](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cahuilla \"Cahuilla\") tribe sold their land plots to the railroads for new lands east of the current town site, and in the 1890s, a few hundred [traqueros](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Traquero \"Traquero\") settled along the tracks. In 1901, the citizens of Woodspur voted on a new name for their community and at a town hall meeting settled on \"Coachella\".[\\[9\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Coachella,_California#cite_note-10)\n\nThe origin of the name *Coachella* is unclear. Some locals believe it was a misspelling of *conchilla*, a Spanish word for the small white snail shells found in the valley's sandy soil, vestiges of a lake that dried up over 3,000 years ago.\n\nCoachella began as a 2.5-square-mile (6.5 km2) territory gridded out on the mesquite-covered desert floor. Coachella became a city in 1946. During the incorporation voting process, the first city council was tentatively elected.\n\nIn the 1950s Coachella begin to expand into its range, about 32 square miles (83 km2), an area which contained large year-round agricultural corporate farms and fruit groves, particularly of [citrus](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Citrus \"Citrus\") (lemons, oranges, grapefruit) and [date palms](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Date_palm \"Date palm\").\n\nBy the 1980 census, Coachella's population had reached at least 10,000 due to relatively slow population growth. Due to a high percentage of Hispanics in the city, Coachella was a scene of [Chicano](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Chicano \"Chicano\") political activism. The agricultural area surrounding Coachella was where the [United Farm Workers](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/United_Farm_Workers \"United Farm Workers\") union staged strikes and protests, including visits by UFW leader [César Chávez](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/C%C3%A9sar_Ch%C3%A1vez \"César Chávez\") in the 1960s and 1970s. In 2018, Harrison Street (the main street in town) was renamed for him.[\\[10\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Coachella,_California#cite_note-11)\n\nIn 1995, state and federal officials designated Coachella as part of the [Coachella Valley Enterprise Zone](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Coachella_Valley_Enterprise_Zone \"Coachella Valley Enterprise Zone\") to boost economic activity and entice businesses to relocate to this rural city which was once home to several fruit shipping plants.\n\nIn 2010, a Coca-Cola bottling facility (a [LEED](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Leadership_in_Energy_and_Environmental_Design \"Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design\") certified building) was added to the city's new light industry facilities, a boon in the rapid-growth community which has a currently troubled economy.[\\[11\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Coachella,_California#cite_note-12)\n\nAccording to the [United States Census Bureau](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/United_States_Census_Bureau \"United States Census Bureau\"), the city has a total area of 30.08 square miles (77.9 km2), all of it land.[\\[3\\]](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Coachella,_California#cite_note-CenPopGazetteer2020-3)\n\nThe elevation is 68 feet (21 m) below sea level, as the eastern half of the Coachella Valley is below sea level. The saltwater lake, [Salton Sea](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Salton_Sea \"Salton Sea\"), 10 miles (16 km) south of Coachella, is 228 feet (69 m) below sea level.\n\nThis climate is dominated in all months by the subtropical [anticyclone](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Anticyclone \"Anticyclone\"), or subtropical high, with its descending air, elevated inversions, and clear skies. Although only a short distance from [Banning, California](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Banning,_California \"Banning, California\") which has a warm-summer Mediterranean climate, it also lies in a [rainshadow](https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rainshadow \"Rainshadow\") that allows Coachella only about one-fourth the precipitation of Banning.

It is the namesake and easternmost city of the Coachella Valley , in Southern California 's Colorado Desert . Originally a railroad town, Coachella is a prominent hub for agriculture and shipping across Southern California and the Western United States. [ 7 ] Coachella had a population of 41,941 in the 2020 Census . The city is officially bilingual in English and Spanish , [ 5 ] with 90% of people speaking Spanish. [ 8 ] The city was founded as Woodspur in 1876, when the Southern Pacific Railroad built a rail siding on the site. In the 1880s the indigenous Cahuilla tribe sold their land plots to the railroads for new lands east of the current town site, and in the 1890s, a few hundred traqueros settled along the tracks. In 1901, the citizens of Woodspur voted on a new name for their community and at a town hall meeting settled on "Coachella". [ 9 ] The origin of the name Coachella is unclear. Some locals believe it was a misspelling of conchilla , a Spanish word for the small white snail shells found in the valley's sandy soil, vestiges of a lake that dried up over 3,000 years ago. Coachella began as a 2.5-square-mile (6.5 km 2 ) territory gridded out on the mesquite-covered desert floor. Coachella became a city in 1946. During the incorporation voting process, the first city council was tentatively elected. In the 1950s Coachella begin to expand into its range, about 32 square miles (83 km 2 ), an area which contained large year-round agricultural corporate farms and fruit groves, particularly of citrus (lemons, oranges, grapefruit) and date palms . By the 1980 census, Coachella's population had reached at least 10,000 due to relatively slow population growth. Due to a high percentage of Hispanics in the city, Coachella was a scene of Chicano political activism. The agricultural area surrounding Coachella was where the United Farm Workers union staged strikes and protests, including visits by UFW leader César Chávez in the 1960s and 1970s. In 2018, Harrison Street (the main street in town) was renamed for him. [ 10 ] In 1995, state and federal officials designated Coachella as part of the Coachella Valley Enterprise Zone to boost economic activity and entice businesses to relocate to this rural city which was once home to several fruit shipping plants. In 2010, a Coca-Cola bottling facility (a LEED certified building) was added to the city's new light industry facilities, a boon in the rapid-growth community which has a currently troubled economy. [ 11 ] According to the United States Census Bureau , the city has a total area of 30.08 square miles (77.9 km 2 ), all of it land. [ 3 ] The elevation is 68 feet (21 m) below sea level, as the eastern half of the Coachella Valley is below sea level. The saltwater lake, Salton Sea , 10 miles (16 km) south of Coachella, is 228 feet (69 m) below sea level. This climate is dominated in all months by the subtropical anticyclone , or subtropical high, with its descending air, elevated inversions, and clear skies. Although only a short distance from Banning, California which has a warm-summer Mediterranean climate, it also lies in a rainshadow that allows Coachella only about one-fourth the precipitation of Banning. The Köppen Climate Classification subtype for this climate is "Bwh" . (Tropical and Subtropical Desert Climate).

A multi-generational Mexican American culture has taken root in the town, including a significant portion particularly from the Mexican state of Sinaloa . [ 14 ] Much of the population consists of younger Latino families (an estimated 90 percent of Hispanic origin) and, in the outlying areas, migrant farm workers. The city is officially bilingual in the English and Spanish languages, though city council meetings are held in English. Historically, apart from the Hispanic/Latino and/or Native Americans , other ethnic groups in Coachella included Arabs , Armenians , Filipinos , Italians , Japanese , and recent immigrants from Southeast Asia and the former Yugoslavia .

These small but highly profitable tribes have representative councils to ensure self-reliance as a community. Coachella is also home to a significant Southwest Indian ( Apache , Hopi , Navajo and Zuni ) population, though not indigenous to the California desert region. Housing and recreation [ edit ] Since 2000, thousands of single-family homes and multi-unit apartment complexes have been built at a fast pace, as the city's population soared, having more than doubled in just a decade. [ 31 ] In 2015, the number of unpermitted trailer parks , often housing farmworkers , was estimated at "dozens if not more than 100." [ 32 ] Many of these parks are in poor condition. Some have dirt roads and frequent power outages , or drinking water supplies contaminated with arsenic or hexavalent chromium . It is uncertain whether it would be more practical to bring in city water and sewer lines , or to simply start over with new developments. Given that a recent 181-unit development, Mountain View Estates, required over 28 million dollars in funding, the nonprofit Pueblo Unido Community Development Corp. is pushing for code upgrades of existing facilities. A court case which alleged that the county had made an intentional effort to close trailer parks with Latino populations was settled in 2000. The US$21 million from the settlement was used to build three farmworker housing projects. As of 2015, dirt roads in 35 trailer parks are being paved as part of a US$3.4 million county project. [ 32 ] Coachella expanded recreational and social activities for which residents once had to drive 10 or 20 miles (16 or 32 km) west. The city has a recreation center, a Boys and Girls Club center, and a boxing club in Bagdouma Park. There are two dance clubs and the Corona Yacht Club located near Spotlight 29 casino; two new golf courses (Desert Lakes and the Vineyards) attract many retirees, RV owners, and local business people. Events and points of interest [ edit ] Three popular fiestas are celebrated each year in town: Cinco de Mayo (May 5), the 16 de Septiembre Fiestas Patrias (Mexico's Independence from Spain) and the 12 de Diciembre (the patron saint of Mexico, Santa Maria de Guadalupe ) to celebrate the Virgin Mary . Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival Coachella Valley Radio Control Club Shady Lane Mural [ 33 ] The film director Frank Capra is interred in the Coachella Valley Cemetery. The Coachella Football Club is a semi-professional American soccer team based in Coachella. Founded in January 2024, the team plays in USL League Two , the fourth tier of the American Soccer Pyramid . [ 34 ] Government and politics [ edit ] In the California State Legislature , Coachella is in the 18th senatorial district , represented by Democrat Steve Padilla , and in the 36th Assembly district , represented by Republican Jeff Gonzalez . [ 35 ] In the United States House of Representatives , Coachella is in California's 25th congressional district , represented by Democrat Raul Ruiz . [ 36 ] Coachella is served by the Coachella Valley Unified School District , [ 37 ] based in Thermal, California . Its main high school is Coachella Valley High School (with 2900 students) followed by a new high school, Desert Mirage High School , about 5 miles to the south; its three middle schools are Cahuilla Desert Academy, Toro Canyon, and Bobby Duke. Elementary schools include Cesar Chavez, Coral Mountain Academy, Palm View, Peter Pendleton, Valle Del Sol, Valley View, Westside and in nearby Thermal, John Kelley. The Coachella Valley Adult School, in operation since 1952, is the third-largest adult school in Riverside County. It offers seven levels of English as a Second Language (ESL), and has offered citizenship classes for over 20 years. In the last ten years, over 1,500 people completed citizenship classes at the school and submitted N-400 forms. The Riverside County Sheriff's Department provides law enforcement for the city from the nearby Thermal Regional Station. The original Coachella Police Department was absorbed by the Sheriff's Department in 1998. The city of Coachella contracts for fire and paramedic services with the Riverside County Fire Department through a cooperative agreement with CAL FIRE . [ 38 ] Near Coachella, a new four-lane expressway, State Route 86 , was built for international trucking from Mexicali, Mexico to Los Angeles or Arizona. Referred to as the "NAFTA highway" (in reference to the North American Free Trade Agreement took effect in 1994), it replaces an older and less safe two-lane road known as the "killer highway, deadly highway, and death highway" where over 400 auto accident fatalities took place since 1980. A plan is being developed for new passenger rail service that would span approximately 144 miles from Los Angeles Union Station (LAUS) to Coachella. Construction would take an estimated ten years following completion of an Environmental Impact Statement / Environmental Impact Report (EIS/EIR). [ 39 ] In 2001 Huell Howser Productions, in association with KCET /Los Angeles, featured Coachella in California's Gold ; the program is available as a VHS videorecording.

In the 1880s the indigenous [Cahuilla](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cahuilla "Cahuilla") tribe sold their land plots to the railroads for new lands east of the current town site, and in the 1890s, a few hundred [traqueros](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traquero "Traquero") settled along the tracks. In 1901, the citizens of Woodspur voted on a new name for their community and at a town hall meeting settled on "Coachella".[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella,_California#cite_note-10) The origin of the name Coachella is unclear. Some locals believe it was a misspelling of conchilla, a Spanish word for the small white snail shells found in the valley's sandy soil, vestiges of a lake that dried up over 3,000 years ago. Coachella began as a 2.5-square-mile (6.5 km2) territory gridded out on the mesquite-covered desert floor. Coachella became a city in 1946. During the incorporation voting process, the first city council was tentatively elected. In the 1950s Coachella begin to expand into its range, about 32 square miles (83 km2), an area which contained large year-round agricultural corporate farms and fruit groves, particularly of [citrus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citrus "Citrus") (lemons, oranges, grapefruit) and [date palms](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_palm "Date palm"). By the 1980 census, Coachella's population had reached at least 10,000 due to relatively slow population growth. Due to a high percentage of Hispanics in the city, Coachella was a scene of [Chicano](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicano "Chicano") political activism. The agricultural area surrounding Coachella was where the [United Farm Workers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Farm_Workers "United Farm Workers") union staged strikes and protests, including visits by UFW leader [César Chávez](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%C3%A9sar_Ch%C3%A1vez "César Chávez") in the 1960s and 1970s. In 2018, Harrison Street (the main street in town) was renamed for him.[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella,_California#cite_note-11) In 1995, state and federal officials designated Coachella as part of the [Coachella Valley Enterprise Zone](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella_Valley_Enterprise_Zone "Coachella Valley Enterprise Zone") to boost economic activity and entice businesses to relocate to this rural city which was once home to several fruit shipping plants. In 2010, a Coca-Cola bottling facility (a [LEED](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leadership_in_Energy_and_Environmental_Design "Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design") certified building) was added to the city's new light industry facilities, a boon in the rapid-growth community which has a currently troubled economy.[\[11\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella,_California#cite_note-12) ## Geography \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Coachella,_California&action=edit&section=2 "Edit section: Geography")\] According to the [United States Census Bureau](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Census_Bureau "United States Census Bureau"), the city has a total area of 30.08 square miles (77.9 km2), all of it land.[\[3\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella,_California#cite_note-CenPopGazetteer2020-3) The elevation is 68 feet (21 m) below sea level, as the eastern half of the Coachella Valley is below sea level. The saltwater lake, [Salton Sea](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salton_Sea "Salton Sea"), 10 miles (16 km) south of Coachella, is 228 feet (69 m) below sea level. ### Climate \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Coachella,_California&action=edit&section=3 "Edit section: Climate")\] This climate is dominated in all months by the subtropical [anticyclone](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anticyclone "Anticyclone"), or subtropical high, with its descending air, elevated inversions, and clear skies.

California](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riverside_County,_California "Riverside County, California"), United States. It is the namesake and easternmost city of the [Coachella Valley](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella_Valley "Coachella Valley"), in [Southern California](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_California "Southern California")'s [Colorado Desert](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colorado_Desert "Colorado Desert"). Originally a railroad town, Coachella is a prominent hub for agriculture and shipping across Southern California and the Western United States.[\[7\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella,_California#cite_note-8) Coachella had a population of 41,941 in the [2020 Census](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_United_States_census "2020 United States census"). The city is officially bilingual in [English](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_English "California English") and [Spanish](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_language_in_California "Spanish language in California"),[\[5\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella,_California#cite_note-bvmag-5) with 90% of people speaking Spanish.[\[8\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella,_California#cite_note-9) The city was founded as Woodspur in 1876, when the [Southern Pacific Railroad](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Pacific_Railroad "Southern Pacific Railroad") built a [rail siding](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rail_siding "Rail siding") on the site. In the 1880s the indigenous [Cahuilla](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cahuilla "Cahuilla") tribe sold their land plots to the railroads for new lands east of the current town site, and in the 1890s, a few hundred [traqueros](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traquero "Traquero") settled along the tracks. In 1901, the citizens of Woodspur voted on a new name for their community and at a town hall meeting settled on "Coachella".[\[9\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella,_California#cite_note-10) The origin of the name Coachella is unclear. Some locals believe it was a misspelling of conchilla, a Spanish word for the small white snail shells found in the valley's sandy soil, vestiges of a lake that dried up over 3,000 years ago. Coachella began as a 2.5-square-mile (6.5 km2) territory gridded out on the mesquite-covered desert floor. Coachella became a city in 1946. During the incorporation voting process, the first city council was tentatively elected. In the 1950s Coachella begin to expand into its range, about 32 square miles (83 km2), an area which contained large year-round agricultural corporate farms and fruit groves, particularly of [citrus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citrus "Citrus") (lemons, oranges, grapefruit) and [date palms](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_palm "Date palm"). By the 1980 census, Coachella's population had reached at least 10,000 due to relatively slow population growth. Due to a high percentage of Hispanics in the city, Coachella was a scene of [Chicano](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicano "Chicano") political activism. The agricultural area surrounding Coachella was where the [United Farm Workers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Farm_Workers "United Farm Workers") union staged strikes and protests, including visits by UFW leader [César Chávez](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%C3%A9sar_Ch%C3%A1vez "César Chávez") in the 1960s and 1970s. In 2018, Harrison Street (the main street in town) was renamed for him.[\[10\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella,_California#cite_note-11) In 1995, state and federal officials designated Coachella as part of the [Coachella Valley Enterprise Zone](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella_Valley_Enterprise_Zone "Coachella Valley Enterprise Zone") to boost economic activity and entice businesses to relocate to this rural city which was once home to several fruit shipping plants. In 2010, a Coca-Cola bottling facility (a [LEED](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leadership_in_Energy_and_Environmental_Design "Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design") certified building) was added to the city's new light industry facilities, a boon in the rapid-growth community which has a currently troubled economy.[\[11\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella,_California#cite_note-12) According to the [United States Census Bureau](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Census_Bureau "United States Census Bureau"), the city has a total area of 30.08 square miles (77.9 km2), all of it land.[\[3\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella,_California#cite_note-CenPopGazetteer2020-3) The elevation is 68 feet (21 m) below sea level, as the eastern half of the Coachella Valley is below sea level. The saltwater lake, [Salton Sea](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salton_Sea "Salton Sea"), 10 miles (16 km) south of Coachella, is 228 feet (69 m) below sea level. This climate is dominated in all months by the subtropical [anticyclone](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anticyclone "Anticyclone"), or subtropical high, with its descending air, elevated inversions, and clear skies. Although only a short distance from [Banning, California](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banning,_California "Banning, California") which has a warm-summer Mediterranean climate, it also lies in a [rainshadow](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainshadow "Rainshadow") that allows Coachella only about one-fourth the precipitation of Banning. The [Köppen Climate Classification](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%B6ppen_Climate_Classification "Köppen Climate Classification") subtype for this climate is ["Bwh"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desert_climate#Hot_desert_climates "Desert climate").

These small but highly profitable tribes have representative councils to ensure self-reliance as a community. Coachella is also home to a significant Southwest Indian ([Apache](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache "Apache"), [Hopi](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hopi "Hopi"), [Navajo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navajo_people "Navajo people") and [Zuni](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zuni_people "Zuni people")) population, though not indigenous to the California desert region. ## Housing and recreation \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Coachella,_California&action=edit&section=9 "Edit section: Housing and recreation")\] Since 2000, thousands of single-family homes and multi-unit apartment complexes have been built at a fast pace, as the city's population soared, having more than doubled in just a decade.[\[31\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella,_California#cite_note-32) In 2015, the number of unpermitted [trailer parks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trailer_park "Trailer park"), often housing [farmworkers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farmworker "Farmworker"), was estimated at "dozens if not more than 100."[\[32\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella,_California#cite_note-esquivel201510-33) Many of these parks are in poor condition. Some have [dirt roads](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirt_roads "Dirt roads") and frequent [power outages](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_outages "Power outages"), or [drinking water supplies](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drinking_water_pollution "Drinking water pollution") contaminated with [arsenic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arsenic "Arsenic") or [hexavalent chromium](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexavalent_chromium "Hexavalent chromium"). It is uncertain whether it would be more practical to bring in city water and [sewer lines](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sewage "Sewage"), or to simply start over with new developments. Given that a recent 181-unit development, Mountain View Estates, required over 28 million dollars in funding, the nonprofit Pueblo Unido Community Development Corp. is pushing for code upgrades of existing facilities. A court case which alleged that the county had made an intentional effort to close trailer parks with Latino populations was settled in 2000. The US\$21 million from the settlement was used to build three farmworker housing projects. As of 2015, dirt roads in 35 trailer parks are being paved as part of a US\$3.4 million county project.[\[32\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella,_California#cite_note-esquivel201510-33) Coachella expanded recreational and social activities for which residents once had to drive 10 or 20 miles (16 or 32 km) west. The city has a recreation center, a [Boys and Girls Club](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boys_%26_Girls_Clubs_of_America "Boys & Girls Clubs of America") center, and a [boxing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boxing "Boxing") club in Bagdouma Park. There are two dance clubs and the Corona Yacht Club located near Spotlight 29 casino; two new golf courses (Desert Lakes and the Vineyards) attract many retirees, [RV](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recreational_vehicles "Recreational vehicles") owners, and local business people. ## Events and points of interest \[[edit](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Coachella,_California&action=edit&section=10 "Edit section: Events and points of interest")\] Three popular fiestas are celebrated each year in town: [Cinco de Mayo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinco_de_Mayo "Cinco de Mayo") (May 5), the 16 de Septiembre [Fiestas Patrias](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiestas_Patrias_$Mexico$ "Fiestas Patrias (Mexico)") (Mexico's Independence from Spain) and the 12 de Diciembre (the patron saint of Mexico, [Santa Maria de Guadalupe](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Maria_de_Guadalupe "Santa Maria de Guadalupe")) to celebrate the [Virgin Mary](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgin_Mary "Virgin Mary"). - [Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella_Valley_Music_and_Arts_Festival "Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival") - [Coachella Valley Radio Control Club](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella_Valley_Radio_Control_Club "Coachella Valley Radio Control Club") - Shady Lane Mural[\[33\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella,_California#cite_note-34) - The film director [Frank Capra](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Capra "Frank Capra") is interred in the Coachella Valley Cemetery.

Its main high school is [Coachella Valley High School](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella_Valley_High_School "Coachella Valley High School") (with 2900 students) followed by a new high school, [Desert Mirage High School](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desert_Mirage_High_School "Desert Mirage High School"), about 5 miles to the south; its three middle schools are Cahuilla Desert Academy, Toro Canyon, and Bobby Duke. Elementary schools include Cesar Chavez, Coral Mountain Academy, Palm View, Peter Pendleton, Valle Del Sol, Valley View, Westside and in nearby Thermal, John Kelley. The Coachella Valley Adult School, in operation since 1952, is the third-largest adult school in Riverside County. It offers seven levels of [English as a Second Language](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_language_learning_and_teaching "English language learning and teaching") (ESL), and has offered citizenship classes for over 20 years. In the last ten years, over 1,500 people completed citizenship classes at the school and submitted [N-400](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Form_N-400 "Form N-400") forms. The [Riverside County Sheriff's Department](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riverside_County_Sheriff%27s_Department "Riverside County Sheriff's Department") provides law enforcement for the city from the nearby Thermal Regional Station. The original Coachella Police Department was absorbed by the Sheriff's Department in 1998. The city of Coachella contracts for fire and paramedic services with the Riverside County Fire Department through a cooperative agreement with [CAL FIRE](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Department_of_Forestry_and_Fire_Protection "California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection").[\[38\]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coachella,_California#cite_note-39) Near Coachella, a new four-lane expressway, [State Route 86](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_State_Route_86 "California State Route 86"), was built for international trucking from [Mexicali, Mexico](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexicali,_Mexico "Mexicali, Mexico") to Los Angeles or Arizona. Referred to as the "NAFTA highway" (in reference to the [North American Free Trade Agreement](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_Free_Trade_Agreement "North American Free Trade Agreement") took effect in 1994), it replaces an older and less safe two-lane road known as the "killer highway, deadly highway, and death highway" where over 400 auto accident fatalities took place since 1980.
