History

Agriculture (fertile and high productive farms, food processing and shipping industries) remains a stable economic factor in El Centro and the Imperial Valley. By 1907 Imperial County was incorporated into California and by then much of the valley was successfully irrigated. . El Centro is located at (32.788139, -115.557966) .

Originally part of San Diego County, California Diego County, the Imperial Valley was settled by farmers once water from the Colorado River was diverted via canals to irrigate the desert valley floor. The first settlers to erect the current town were railroad employees in "tent cities" or temporary sheet tents, but in the 1910s they constructed permanent dwellings along the rail tracks and the settlement, originally named 'Worthington' for a prominent local Barbara Worth (the former US Highway/County Route S80 was named the 'Barbara Worth Highway' for her) became "El Centro" in the 1920 US census, later made the county seat.
