Originally called Old MacDonald Ranch, Palm Desert was renamed in 1951 after playing a key role in WWII, when General Patton established a major training camp there. Over a million troops were trained in desert conditions, and the site later became El Paseo, now a luxury shopping district known as "Little Rodeo Drive." Notable attractions include The Living Desert Zoo and Gardens, El Paseo, McCallum Theatre, and Civic Center Park.
