Imperial County is located in the Imperial Valley in the far southeastern region of California. The county borders Mexico to its south. Founded on August 7, 1907, it is the newest county in California. The county seat and largest city is El Centro. The Colorado River defines the eastern boundary of the county and the California–Nevada state line.
Besides its rich agricultural heritage, the county features plenty of attractions to explore. The remnants of Fort Yuma preserves the local Native American culture. The Algodones Dunes of the Sonoran Desert is a preferred terrain for off-road enthusiasts. The Sonny Bono Salton Sea National Wildlife Refuge is a renowned breeding ground and thus, its trails are popular among birders and wildlife lovers. Salvation Mountain, Desert View Tower, Museum of History in Granite, Imperial Valley Desert Museum, and Quechan Casino Resort are famous attractions in Imperial County.
Brawley, Calexico, Calipatria, El Centro, Holtville, Imperial, and Westmorland are major cities in Imperial County. Interstate 8 is the primary east-west corridor in the county. State Route 111 and SR 78 are secondary highways passing through a few populated areas. The nearest Amtrak station is in Yuma (Arizona state), which is served by the Sunset Limited route.
