About Los Compadres
The area called Los Compadres (The Friends) dates back to 1941 with the founding of the Los Compadres Stables and Riding Club, and was one of the "last vestiges of the West in Palm Springs" with rodeos, western culture and fashion, horseback riding in the desert and foothills, the late iconic Mayor Frank Bogert, and the famous mink and manure social events. Nearby Smoke Tree Ranch reveled in the same culture with its western chuckwagon breakfasts, devoted riders, and vacationing "wannabe" cowboys from the halls of commerce and Hollywood. There was a great article written by Palm Springs Life in 2010 about "The Hay Days of Palm Springs" http://palmspringswestfest.com/index.php/ps-rodeo-history.
The residential neighborhood started in the late 70's with a pocket of Spanish-style homes and has grown over the years to include approximately 600 residences, apartments and townhomes.
