  • Appendix B: Overview of Tract Development
    App B - 1 Appendix B: Overview of Tract Development Following is an overview of select residential subdivisions that were recorded in Palm Springs from the 1920s through the 1960s; this was developed for reference by the project team and is outside of the required scope of services for the project. This information was compiled to provide background information on the residential development of Palm Springs in order to understand the evolution of neighborhoods in the city and evaluate potential historic districts. It is not intended to be an exhaustive history of each tract, which is more detailed information than is typically required in a citywide historic context statement. For some tracts little information exists, but any detail about a tract that was uncovered as part of this study is included to aid future researchers. The subdivisions are listed chronologically by the date they were initially recorded.

SCREENCHECK DRAFT – OCTOBER 13, 2015 City of Palm Springs Citywide Historic Context Statement & Survey Findings HISTORIC RESOURCES GROUP 185 CONTEXT: POST-WORLD WAR II PALM SPRINGS (1945-1969) Overview This context explores the post-World War II boom and related development that left Palm Springs with what many consider the largest and finest concentration of mid-20th century Modern architecture in the United States. Hollywood film stars and Eastern industrialists were joined in the postwar decades by ever-increasing numbers of tourists. The growing prosperity of the postwar years and the rise of the car culture created a leisured, mobile middle class that sought, in Palm Springs, the “good life” that had previously been available only to the wealthy.435 This surge of visitors and seasonal residents - by 1951 the city’s winter population swelled to almost 30,000 from a permanent population of 7,660 - coincided with the peak of Modernism’s popularity.436 The population growth accelerated in the 1950s, bringing a demand for civic necessities such as schools, libraries, museums, a city hall and police headquarters, as well as offices, stores, and housing. Palm Springs' growth as a tourist destination brought a demand for inns, resorts, and tourist attractions.
