rightThe Salton Sea was created by accident in 1905 when water from the Colorado River spilled out of a poorly constructed California Development Company irrigation system. The lake grew over the next two years until workers were able to staunch the massive flow.
By this time, a 400-square-mile body of water had formed on the Salton basin in southern California. They called it the Salton Sea.
In the 1950s and 60s, salination levels were lower, and the Salton Sea was a popular tourist hotspot. Millions of visitors would flock to the sea’s relatively warm waters each year — often drawing more tourists annually than Yosemite.
