La Quinta, Desert resort city in Riverside County, United States
The city spans across 35 square miles of land surrounded by the Santa Rosa Mountains, featuring numerous residential communities and golf courses.
The Cahuilla Indians inhabited the region before Walter Morgan established La Quinta Resort in 1926, leading to the city's incorporation in 1982.
La Quinta combines permanent residents with seasonal visitors who migrate from northern regions during winter months, creating a varied social environment.
The municipality maintains 20 public parks, contracts with Riverside County for police and fire services, and connects through multiple state transportation routes.
La Quinta experiences over 348 days of sunshine annually, with summer temperatures reaching 108 degrees Fahrenheit and less than 4 inches of rainfall.
