The California Mid-Winter Fairgrounds, located in the heart of Imperial, host the Imperial County's largest event, the ten-day fair held in February or March of each year.

The Imperial County Airport, located in Imperial, meets the General Aviation, Air Transportation, and Air Freight and Cargo needs of the entire Imperial Valley. Airline services is also available with connecting flights to over 270 cities world wide.
Imperial is the headquarters for the Imperial Irrigation District (IID), the sixth largest power utility in California and one of the largest irrigation districts in the world. IID provides jobs for more than 1,100 people, services irrigation water to nearly 500,000 acres of fertile farmland, and generates and distributes electricity to a 6,741 square mile area.
New construction appears throughout Imperial, including several new housing developments. Shopping strips emerge and expand. The Imperial Industrial Park consisting of 70 acres with 125,000 feet of occupied office, industrial and warehouse space continues to grow. Tenants include maquiladora, government, education, food wholesale, and other.
Imperial is a city of firsts. It was officially designated as a town site in 1902. This designation was then followed by the first chamber of commerce in 1903, first hotel, first school, first church, first source of supplies for farmers, and first printing press in the Imperial Valley.
The twenty-first century finds an aggressive transition taking place from a rural city supporting agricultural businesses to a growing urban city incorporating light industry, housing and shopping centers. While urbanization looms on the horizon, agriculture is still the staple of life in Imperial. A blend of city and country life styles appear to be the keys to Imperial's future.
