Cathedral City

The desert floor around Cathedral City lies in the Coachella Valley between the San Jacinto and Santa Rosa Mountains, a setting that has shaped both its low-rise urban form and service-based economy. The city sits beside Palm Springs in a broad, intensely sunny basin where resort communities, golf courses and residential districts spread across formerly arid land. Cathedral City takes its name from nearby Cathedral Canyon, whose rock formations were compared to a cathedral. Incorporated in 1981, it has grown into one of the valley’s principal cities, with public art and community events adding to its contemporary civic character.
