Editing Thousand Palms, California (section)

==History==
This area was previously known as '''100 Palm Spring''', as seen on 1874 maps and an official Land Office map dating to 1891. The post office was established in 1915, and the area was named '''Edom''', California after the ancient Asian nation. However, in 1919, a residents petition was carried out and the name was changed to Thousand Palms.<ref>Gudde, Erwin Gustav (1960).

The post office was moved in 1938 and then renamed "Thousand Palms" in 1939.<ref name=Durham>{{cite book|last1=Durham|first1=David L.|title=Place-Names of California's Desert Counties|date=2001|publisher=World Dancer Press|location=Clovis, CA|isbn=1-884995-31-4|page=58}}</ref>
