In 1926, Walter Morgan established the [[La Quinta Resort and Club|La Quinta Resort]] at the northern section of Marshall Cove as a type of secluded hideaway for Hollywood's celebrities and socialites. The Resort was the site for the Coachella Valley's first [[golf course]], coinciding with the construction and pavement of [[California State Route 111|State Route 111]] in the 1930s. Further expansion of Washington Street in the 1950s and 1960s connected La Quinta with US Highways [[U.S. Route 60 (California)|60]] and [[U.S. Route 99 (California)|99]] (became [[Interstate 10 (California)|Interstate 10]] in the 1970s).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.laquintaresort.com/about_la_quinta/history/|title=Palm Desert Resort – Luxury Resort Palm Springs – La Quinta Resort|work=laquintaresort.com|access-date=January 17, 2017}}</ref>
