Indio is a warm desert city in the county of Riverside, Ca. Located about 265 miles from Palm Springs. In 2010 the population of Indio was 76,036. Back in the old Days the city was created due to the fact that the railroad needed a place to have trains stop and clean their engines. Originally the city was called Indian Wells. The railroad helped the city prosper by bringing settlers and visitors alike into the area. No surprise that the first building was the Depot station and hotel. The railroad company tried to make life in the city as comfortable as possible for their workers at the time. This way they would stay in this difficult area to live in during this time period. Chino was also known for its agriculture, onions, cotton, grapes, citrus and dates. The biggest problem the city had was flooding until Coachella Valley created water canals. Some of the earliest founders of the city are Dr. Harry Smiley and his wife Nell, AG Ting man and Dr. June Robertson McCarroll. By the 20th century the city was not going  to be taken off the map.  Schools and hospitals were built and families became established.  Indio is home to the USDA Date Station.

This is were extensive research took place on fruit which later became part of the city of Indio's culture. Indio being a major grower of dates linked it to the Middle East. At times unemployment was up to almost 20%. Though in 2006 the unemployment went down to 5% due to the real estate market going up and affluent resident s moving into the area.
