Cabazon was first established as a settlement in the 1870s when the Southern Pacific Railroad built a railroad station there. Originally named Jacinto, the community was renamed after an Indian rancheria. The Indian name, Cabezone, was derived from the local chief of the Cahuilla tribe during the colonial period. Later on, a workers' camp was built here, which included a hotel. The Southern Pacific Railroad later shifted its facilities and left the area for a new location. The first subdivisions in Cabazon were laid out in 1880 by the Scottish-owned Cabazon Land and Water Company, which established a fruit farm. Some lots were sold, while others were later repurchased.
