» History. For centuries, the Colorado River fertilized these lands, which would eventually become one of the most important cotton hubs in the world. Americans, Chinese, Mexicans, East Indians, and Japanese were so involved in productive endeavors that they forgot to formally found the city. Combining the words “Mexico” and “California”, they came upon the name Mexicali. Years later, the date March 14, 1903 was established as the official date of Mexicalis founding.

» Economics. Even though Mexicali is located in the middle of a desert, irrigation systems enabled it to produce agricultural products, and Mexicali became a well known cotton-producing area. Also, assembly-line factories were established here, creating jobs for thousands of people. The tourism industry is also prominent, as San Felipe beaches are within the municipality, hosting national and international tourism year-long.
