is the core of the Imperial Valley's retail district. El Centro, as its name

and industrial areas. It is also the county seat of Imperial County http://www.imperialcounty.net and
lies 50 feet below sea level.
The bustling City of El Centro http://www.cityofelcentro.org is
surrounded by thousands of acres of prime farmland that has transformed the desert

crop production of over $1 billion. Agriculture is the largest industry in Imperial
County and accounts for 48% of all employment. Fifty percent of the jobs in the
City of El Centro come from the service and retail sector. A recent growth in
the interest of Imperial County as a Filming Location http://www.filmhere.com ,
has spurred growth in servicing this industry
