I live in nearby Indio Cal. and noticed a small desert community 20 years ago spread out like wildfire. La Quinta is one of California's historic boomtowns that seem to grow overnight, like highly publicized growing cities of Irvine, Moreno Valley, Rancho Cucamonga, Simi Valley and pretty much the Los Angeles/So. Cal. megalopolis took 80 years to be where it is now. In 1982, La Quinta incorporated to have a city council when the population was 4,000 (but 1,500 year-round residents). By 1990, there was 11,215 along with 5,500 seasonal residents, and it doubled again to over 25,000 (plus 15,000 are seasonal). According to the city limit sign on Hwy. 111 (the Sgt. Bruce Lee Memorial Highway named for the local highway patrol officer killed in a shootout), there are 35,600 residents at this time (2006 estimate). The number of seasonal residents could exceed 20,000, thus La Quinta in its' 28 square mile area is nearly built up and houses are now worth over $450,000, with some million-dollar condos and "mansionettes". I remember only a square mile, the La Quinta Resort and Club was the main thing there amid a desert and some citrus groves. The laid out roads had a few hundred homes and mainly deserted, but now it's an entire community with no vacant lots. The dizzy growth of La Quinta needs to stay managed, planned and controlled or residents may find themselves in another urban area sooner or later. + 207.200.116.131 03:01, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
There needs to be a sitation for the remarks on the La Quinta Resort and Club. Matthew Peters 09:51, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
I didn't remove the Monaco controversy, but I can say that it might have been removed since it does not pertain to La Quinta since the girl's school isn't in the city. Matthew Peters 03:02, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
I made the original request for a citation. I decided to solve it myself, and with a little research, I've found Census data that disproves certain bits of Demographic information previously provided. [ [1]] Matthew Peters 09:51, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
