Coachella

Coachella has served as an agricultural centre in California’s Coachella Valley since the early 20th century. The city sits in the Colorado Desert, on the broad valley floor east of the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto Mountains and north of the Salton Sea. Irrigated farming has long shaped local life, and the valley is particularly associated with date cultivation. The annual National Date Festival takes place in nearby Indio, reflecting a crop that remains central to the area’s identity. Coachella’s substantial Latino community is evident in its Spanish-language businesses and daily culture.
