Located on the US/Mexico border across the from Calexico California is the city of Mexicali, Mexico. Covering an area of approximately 5,200 square miles, it is home to over 900,000 people and is the capital of the Mexican state of Baja California.

In the 1950’s and 60’s Cotton became the most important crop of the region, helping to develop a growing textile industry in Mexicali. In the 60's and 70's, the valley became the biggest cotton producing zone in Mexico, with more than half a million parcels harvested in one year. Although manufacturing is now its main employment base, agriculture continues to be a large industry, with exports of asparagus, broccoli, green onions and radishes going worldwide.

From a population of 100,000 people in 1975 the city is now approaching 1 million residents thanks to a fast growing manufacturing base of American companies which is drawing in residents from other parts of Mexico to this fast growing border town.
