Palmdale, California auto insurance information

Palmdale, California has an estimated population of 141,012 people and the city is separated from Los Angeles by the San Gabriel Mountains. Palmdale is the first city to incorporate in the Antelope Valley and its motto is "Aerospace Capital of America".

The area began as the village of Palmenthal in 1886. Settlers were from the American Midwest and were originally of German and Swiss descent. These early settlers mistook the Joshua Trees, which they found growing here, for Palms and named their village after the German word for Palms - Palmenthal. These early settlers tried unsuccessfully to farm the land but were unfamiliar with cultivating land in a desert climate and eventually abandoned their farms choosing instead to move a bit to the south, beside the Southern Pacific railroad tracks. This new village was named Palmdale. When the California - Los Angeles Aqueduct system was completed, the area was able to sustain a thriving agricultural base made up of crops of alfalfa, pears and apples. Palmdale's agricultural industry grew even more when in 1921, U.S. Highway 6 (now known as Sierra Highway), was completed, which linked the city with Los Angeles. In response to this new growth, the Harold Reservoir and Littlerock Dam (now known as Lake Palmdale) were constructed in 1924 to supply more water to the area. Between WWII and the 1950s, Palmdale evolved from an agricultural city, and became an aerospace center due to the additions of several military and commercial interests to the area namely: Edwards Air Force Base, United States Air Force Base 32, and Lockheed Corporation.

When affordable housing came to the area, the population of Palmdale soared and it became the fastest growing city in the state and the second fastest in the nation during the 1980s and 1990s. Among other things, Palmdale is a bedroom community for Los Angeles.
