Calexico
Calexico combines the orderly grid of an Imperial Valley town with the constant interchange of a binational border city in a way that reflects its position beside Mexicali, Mexico. Founded in 1900, it took its name from “California” and “Mexico” and grew alongside irrigated agriculture in the valley. The New River crosses the city after entering the United States from Mexico, continuing north toward the Salton Sea. Rail lines, commercial corridors and low-rise neighborhoods extend across notably flat land, while fields at the urban edge underline Calexico’s ties to the regional farm economy. Its ports of entry make the city an important practical connection between California and Baja California.

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.

The state includes both Mount Whitney, the highest point in the contiguous United States, and extensive protected lands such as Yosemite National Park. California’s cities have exerted worldwide influence through film, technology, agriculture, and music; Hollywood remains an enduring symbol of the American screen industry. Its scale means climates and local character can change dramatically from one county to the next. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of California.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
