History of Palmdale
The village of Palmdale was first established in the late 1880s and many farm families migrated to the area to harvest grain and fruit crops. During the drought season, some of these families had little resources to maintain their crops and left the area. The remaining attractions from the original settlers are the old cemetery located on the northeast corner of Avenue S and 20th Street East, and the old schoolhouse located at McAdam Park.
In the early 1930s, the United States government formed the Muroc Air Base, now known as the Edwards Air Force Base, in the neighboring city of Lancaster. The Palmdale airport was created in 1952 and an aerospace development and testing facility named the United States Air Force Plant 42. The city of Palmdale is referred by many as the Aerospace Capital of the World because of the rich history and the home of many military aircrafts. Many aerospace professionals and fans frequent the area to gain an understanding of early developments in the industry. Lancaster CA motel and hotel options are available for your accommodation needs.
