About Mexicali > History

It all started with a river...

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.

Mexicali gradually transformed into the capital of Baja California. Today, it is a progressive city with main industry that has gone from agricultural to industrial. .
