The Mesa, A Little Bit Of History

The Mesa has an interesting history; it is strictly a residential neighborhood except for being the home to Moorten Botanical Garden founded by the desert’s first horticulturist. With a vision of an exclusive community in Palm Springs, and an entrance that takes you through a main gate, Edward Fulford, built this community. Known to many as a successful business man from Los Angeles, Edward Fulford planned for the grand entrance which still stands today near the corner of El Portal and South Palm Canyon Drive. The Mesa is home to residents both full and part-time whose occupations and backgrounds vary as much as the many majestic, jagged edges of the San Jacinto Mountains.
