Why buy in Thermal, California? Nobody used to even KNOW where the City of Thermal actually was..even Locals that live here in the Palm Springs Valley weren’t sure where it was. The City of Thermal began as a railroad camp in 1910 for employees of the Southern Pacific Railroad. Agricultural runoff from canal irrigation made the area thrive in the 1950’s. The Camp Young US Naval Air Station converted into Thermal Airport by 1965. Hwy 86, the main drag came about in the 1990’s, constructed over an earlier transportation route. The Population is around 4,000, and the average summer temperatures can be well into the triple digits. But…“What is there to DO in Thermal???”
