Indio

Indio has served as a railroad town in California’s Coachella Valley since the 1870s. Laid out beside the Southern Pacific line, it developed as an agricultural centre in the Colorado Desert, where date palms and citrus became defining crops. The city lies between the arid valley floor and the Santa Rosa Mountains, with the Salton Sea farther southeast. Today, Indio is internationally associated with the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and the Stagecoach Festival, both held at the Empire Polo Club. Its National Date Festival also reflects the longstanding importance of date cultivation.
