Table of Contents

There are many adjectives that can be used to describe Rancho Mirage, California: peaceful, beautiful, relaxing, verdant, convenient, warm, friendly, cultured, sunny, elegant, unfettered. Located in the geographic center of the Palm Springs Valley, 10 miles from Palm Springs to the northwest and Indio to the southeast, Rancho Mirage lies in a sheltered cove, spreading its green carpet across the desert floor from the Santa Rosa Mountains on the south toward the mighty snowcapped San Jacinto range on the west.

The promotion of Rancho Mirage as a destination desert community began as early as 1924 with the efforts of Bert Davie and E.E. McIntyre, who purchased hundreds of acres of land from the Southern Pacific Railroad. Bert Davie was an ardent promoter from Michigan who established a ranch house at Clancy Lane and built a north-south thoroughfare to connect his new desert paradise to the Bradshaw Trail (the present-day Highway 111). He named this road Rio del Sol (Way of the Sun), which later became Bob Hope Drive.

Les Clancy, the first of the “gentlemen farmers” to build a home in the development, arrived with his wife Helen and brother M.C. in 1932. Two other real estate speculators, Louis Blankenhorn and Laurence Macomber, are credited with giving us the name Rancho Mirage when they launched a promotion of land parcels along Highway 111 in 1934, in the area between Bob Hope Drive and Indian Trail. While this subdivision was quite successful, the activity center of the community continued to be Davie’s Rio del Sol Estates through World War II.

Guided tours of Sunnylands, the former winter residence of Walter and Leonore Annenberg, are offered Thursdays through Sundays, except during July and August or when a retreat is being held on the estate. For more info www.Sunnylands.org
