History
In 1909, settlers instituted the City of Palma after neighboring Rockwell settlers built a giant oil refinery. Becoming a decently sized oil town. Years later, Palma would undergo a major makeover. Big sections of Palma and one of the major avenues separating Rockwell and Palma were demolished, making way for the new i5 interchange. This new exit allowed interstate travelers to stop in Palma for refreshments. As a result of recent expansion, a new development was built on the eastern side of Palma with a middle school, multiple strip malls, and several duplexes and apartments. Palma was one of the most affordable places to live at the time since an oil refinery occupied much of the city. The city's west side would also be redeveloped in 1958 with more duplexes, a motel, and many single-family homes, along with an entirely new circled section later constructed in 1986, replacing more old houses. In 1965, the oil refinery was abandoned after the owners failed to follow safety regulations. The abandoned refinery attracted a lot of criminals, so the City of Greenfield planned a new police and fire station for Palma. In 2016, the city dismantled the oil refinery and recent development, including Palma Altos Retirement Communities. Palma continues to be a thriving suburb as of today, but has little left of it's former buildings from the past. Only just a few elderly houses scattered around Palma.
