Histori
The construction of the eastern railroad out of Los Angeles began in 1873. The train was operated to Colton on July 16, 1875, and to Indio (later Indian Wells) on May 29, 1876. Moved east from Indio, the train reached the western edge of the Colorado River opposite Yuma on May 23, 1877 (a village known as the City of Arizona before 1873). There was a delay in getting the military authority to lay a trace on the Yuma Indian reservation, and it was September of that year before the bridge was completed so the train could operate to Yuma. The Southern Pacific Railroad is joining Texas & amp; Pacific, one of the few railroads then holds, or seeks, federal authorities to build paths from different parts of the country in the west to the Pacific Coast. But head-rail Q & amp; P stops away in Texas, so the South Pacific continues to build eastward. (A Sketch of The History of PACIFIC SOUTH 1869-1944 by Erle Heath Editor, The Southern Pacific "Bulletin", www.cprr.org/Museum/SP_1869-1944/).
The town of Indio happens because of the midpoint need for the South Pacific Railroad between Yuma, Arizona and Los Angeles. The machine needs to be refilled with water. At first, the intended city was called Indian Wells, but because so many other areas have been mentioned, Indio - after the Spanish variant of the word "Indian" - was chosen. After the arrival of the train in 1876, Indio really started to grow. The first permanent building is a Pacific Pacific Depot style craftsman and hotel. The South Pacific is trying to make life as comfortable as possible for their workers so that they do not leave an area that is so difficult to live in at the moment. It is the center of all social life in the desert with a lavish dining room and organizing dances on Friday night.
While Indio started as a railroad city, it soon became a farm. Onions, cotton, grapes, oranges and dates flourish in dry climates because of the ingenuity of farmers finding ways to get water; first through the artesian well and then through the branch of the All-American Canal valley. However, water is also a big problem for Indio and the city is flooded several times until a storm water channel is created throughout the Coachella Valley.
Entrepreneurs and women find the last frontier land in the continent of the United States as an ideal place to start a new one. Dr. Harry Smiley and his wife Nell were the early inhabitants and lived in Indio after their car broke down on a trip to Los Angeles and became an influential person and helped shape the area. A.G. Tingman was the first shopkeeper and the first Indigo Postmaster, but also famous for making use of miners as they headed to the mountains, selling at a rather high price. Then Dr. June Robertson McCarroll became a prominent philanthropist as well as a successful doctor in Indio. He was in charge along with Indio Woman's Club for pressuring California to adopt the placement of white lines on the streets after he almost hit one time by passing the vehicle. But although the early founders of this city were considered pioneers, they still took part in the lifestyles of their friends living in areas such as Los Angeles. Indio built itself quickly and followed all the trends as they were taken by the railroad tracks.
At the turn of the 20th century, Indio was more than a faded railroad city. The schools are built, La Casita hospitals provide medical services, and families build roots. This is the growth of a city, not just a railroad city.
In 1920, about one to two thousand residents throughout the year lived in Indio, while it can double to 2,500 to 5,000 during the winter months and advertised as a health resort for elderly and those with respiratory illnesses and illnesses on the remainder of the 20th century.
Indio also serves as the home of the USDA Date Station, a place where leading scientific research takes place on the fruit that will become a major part of Indio culture. The station began in 1907 and is responsible for the ability of local farmers to better understand this unique plant and make Coachella Valley a leader in the American date plant. It also creates a tie to the Middle East that leads to a theme for County Fair with Middle Eastern talent.
Coachella and Thermal soon became larger cities than Indio, but Indio remains the "Hub of the Valley," as it is called. With the burning of the majority of Thermal and the decline of Coachella, Indio grows again. In 1930 Indio was a thriving and legal area. On September 6, 1930, shopkeeper Fred Kohler received the first business license in Indio.
Indio is also assisted by visiting soldiers from Patton's training ground at Chiriaco Summit located 30 miles to the east. However, Indio sees another decline as the population of the valley starts to move west toward new cities like Palm Desert. However, there is now a reversal in this trend and the eastern part of the valley will again become the center of Coachella Valley.
The city has a significant unemployment rate (in some cases over 20 percent) by the end of the 20th century and from a recession in the late 2000s. The rate in 2006 was below 5 percent after the local economy rebounded in the real estate boom when richer inhabitants moved in. Rapid population growth is fueling the city's current needs for employment.

Indio's old historical mural program
In the fall of 1996, the Indio Chamber of Commerce established a committee to develop the Historic Mural Project to help revitalize the local economy during the economic recession in the state.

It started with a suggestion to start a mural project first brought to the city by David Hernandez, a former member of the Indio city council, after he visited Chemainus. Very little happened with this concept until 1996, when the executive director of the East County National Festival Festival, Bruce Latta and commissioned artist Bill Weber from San Francisco to paint the Taj Mahal mural at the Taj Mahal Garden God ) builds in the fairground.

He runs a website on Historic Route 99 (http://www.indiocaroute99.com/component/option,com_frontpage/Itemid,1/).
