Imperial County, situated in the southeastern corner of California, was created in 1907 from the eastern part of San Diego County. It encompasses an area of 4,284 square miles and is bordered by Riverside County to the north, San Diego County to the west, and the Mexican state of Baja California to the south. Its largest city and county seat is El Centro.

The region was initially inhabited by Native American tribes such as the Quechan and Kumeyaay. The Spanish explorer Juan Bautista de Anza was the first European to pass through Imperial County in the late 18th century, followed by other European and American explorers and settlers throughout the 19th century.

The Colorado Desert makes up the majority of Imperial County's landscape, which led to its history of being a sparsely populated area dominated by agriculture. The arrival of the Southern Pacific Railroad in the 1870s sparked economic growth, and the construction of the Alamo Canal in 1901 transformed the arid region into one of the most productive agricultural areas in California.

Imperial County is known for its vast agricultural production, which depends heavily on irrigation from the Colorado River. It is a leading producer in crops like carrots, lettuce, and alfalfa. The economy of the county is based primarily on agriculture, tourism, manufacturing, and the geothermal power industry.

A fun fact about Imperial County is that it is home to the Salton Sea, the largest inland body of water in California. This sea was accidentally created in 1905 when the Colorado River flooded and breached the Alamo Canal, filling the Salton Sink. The Salton Sea has since become an important ecological habitat for migratory birds and a popular recreational area for Southern Californians.
