History

Population growth was slow, but accelerated in the 1930s, again in the World War II era (1940s) despite the city was hard hit by a 7.1 earthquake in July 1940, and the city's population doubled in size during the 1950s to over 10,000 residents in 1960. 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. Agriculture (fertile and high productive farms, food processing and shipping industries) remains a stable economic factor in El Centro and the Imperial Valley.
