Back in the 1930s and 1940s, Mission Palms was known as Rancho Nezhone Beautiful Ranch in Navajo. Raw desert land was cleared and a ranch, orchard, greenhouse, barn, and a 300-stone wall in front of the property, which still stands today, were built. The property was a retreat for celebrities like Liberace, singer and actress Kate Smith, Gen. John Pershing, and William Boyd (aka Hopalong Cassidy). After almost two decades of serving as a guest ranch, the main house was converted to apartments, a dining room was built, and the property became a guest resort and supper club. In 1976, the remaining monkeys and parrots were removed from the property, and the property became as it's currently known, Mission Palms Apartments.
