Calexico

Calexico is best known in California for its location directly on the United States–Mexico border, opposite Mexicali. The New River crosses the city on its northward course through the Imperial Valley toward the Salton Sea, placing Calexico in a desert basin shaped by irrigation and farming. Its name joins “California” and “Mexico,” reflecting a borderland identity shared with its much larger neighbour across the international line. The Calexico West port of entry is one of the city’s defining civic spaces, linking local streets and commerce to Mexicali.
