Over the last 20 years this city has consistently been ranked in the top 10 fastest growingcities in the United States (based on percentage change). As of spring 2005 thepopulation is estimated at 143,227, making Palmdale the sixth largest city in Los AngelesCounty. For most of its existence it has had a small population; however it now isarguably the largest "desert city" (from an Angeleno viewpoint) in California. The city –with 105 square miles (272 km²) of land in its incorporated boundaries – is in the top 100largest cities in the United States in geographic area and as of 2005 ranks 150th in theU.S. in population. The city has worked hard to maintain its image and upgrade itsinfrastructure during its rapid growth. A first class medical campus is under construction(expected to open in 2007), which will include the region's largest emergencydepartment, a helipad, medical office towers, and a senior housing complex. A newmulti-modal Transportation center, serving local and commuter bus and train serviceopened in 2005. A voter initiated and approved bond funded major park and recreationexpansions, including a 7,000 attendee capacity, earthen outdoor amphitheater, 2 newpools, recreation buildings and a water park. Downtown revitalization includes hundredsof new senior housing units, a new senior center, and expanded open space. A newSheriff station is opening, and will accommodate aditional deputies, and 2 new Firestations are being developed (one on the east side and one on the west side). In the movieBubble Boy, Palmdale was depicted as a small strip of houses and a bus stop – a 1970sview of what entertainment industry Hollywood film moguls remember Palmdale asbeing. Famous people from Palmdale include rapper Afroman, famous for his song"Because I Got High." and the music group All 4 One, known for the hit songs I Swear, ICan Love You Like That, and She's Got Skillz.While Palmdale is still a part of Los Angeles County, the urbanized centers of Palmdaleand Los Angeles are separated by the San Gabriel mountain range which spans about 40miles (60 km) wide. This mountain range forms the southern edge of the Antelope Valleyportion of the Mojave Desert. Palmdale is one of the two principal cities of the AntelopeValley, and is the third largest populated city in the Mojave Desert, outstripped only byLas Vegas and Henderson, Nevada.This satellite image, looking toward the west, shows the Palmdale / Antelope Valley areain relation to Los Angeles with the San Gabriel Mountains separating them.History
