History

The originally proposed names were 'Santo Tomas' or 'Thomasville'. Although it gained a reputation for a while as a typical US-Mexico bordertown with all the tawdry aspects usually associated with such places, the modern city of Calexico is a far cry from what it was back in those early days. Since Calexico represents the mixing of two cultures and areas and because of its proximity to the Mexican border, the name Calexico was coined from a combination of the words California and Mexico. The Imperial Land Company converted bone-dry desert land into a fertile setting for year-round agriculture that provides an economic base. After the Mexican Revolution of the 1910s, thousands of Mexican refugees settled in the Imperial Valley on the US side.
