El Centro, a city of about 44,000 people, is the seat of Imperial County and the commercial hub of the Imperial Valley, about 10 miles north of the Mexico border at Calexico and Mexicali. It is the largest U.S. city located entirely below sea level, and the surrounding farmland is one of the country's top winter vegetable growing regions.
Naval Air Facility El Centro, the winter training home of the Blue Angels, El Centro Regional Medical Center and the Imperial Valley Mall bring steady traffic, and many shoppers cross from Mexicali. I-8 runs along the south side of the city between San Diego and Arizona, so billboards reach cross-border shoppers, farm workers and travelers heading to the Imperial Sand Dunes.
