Are you sure that Imperial County is the least wealthiest of all of the California counties? Isn't Tulare County less wealthy? -- fpo 02:55, August 16, 2005 (UTC)
Tulare county is 3rd poorest in California, while neighboring Kings County is second place and the poorest title does belong to Imperial county. The U.S. Census and state government web sites offer the kind of income distribution data. Imperial County should has prospered from the NAFTA economic boom of the 1990's, then the concept of a mainly agricultural economy means wages are dangerously low. Imperial county is treated like a poor bastion it is by visitors and businessmen from the state's urban centers. However, there was significant growth and development in Mexicali in neighboring Mexico that provided income gains in a region not considered economically stable.

You can't have a line like this: "However, massive immigration from Mexico started placing tremendous burdens on the county's services and quality of life. " without documentation. I grew up in the Imperial Valley and increasing corporate control of farming could just as easily be blamed for the decline in real wealth of the region. Scapegoating immigrants without documentation is just wrong. Halfelven ( talk) 07:57, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Can someone add the new flag of Imperial County right next to the seal at the top of the Wikipedia page? The Imperial County Board of Supervisors adopted a new flag design at its board meeting on Tuesday, April 26, 2016. Local El Centro resident Luis Villegas designed it. Here's an article on the event: http://tribwekchron.com/2016/04/county-flag-winners/ Here's another one: http://www.thedesertreview.com/supervisors-unveil-new-imperial-county-flag-design/ Finally, here's another one from the Imperial Valley Press: http://m.ivpressonline.com/news/local/imperial-county-supervisors-recognize-contest-participants-adopt-new-flag/article_8353bad6-0cf8-11e6-8167-33ea209b8045.html?mode=jqm

Relatively minor. Eliminated the description "Anglo-Americans" as there is no cite indicating that the American population who settled the area after the Mexican American war were predominately Americans with English heritage. If the actual intent was to describe the population as White Americans that might be ok, but, even using White Americans instead doesn't really add to the article; using Americans should be fine. Also deleted "the world's only artificial inland sea" from the description of the Salton Sea. First, it's dubious to call Salton Sea an actual Sea, it's really a lake (see Wikipedia Page on Salton Sea), but its just called a sea because of its salinity and probably because of its relatively large size for the region. Second, it can be argued that the Salton Sea is artificial, as the areas latest iteration as a lake was created by human error. However, the depression that forms the Salton Sea has been created several times in the past by natural forces. The life-cycle of the lake starts as a dry depression (area below sea-level) then is flooded, mainly by the Colorado River, and becomes a fresh-water lake, then slowly evaporates overtime becoming salty and then completely evaporates back into dry desert until the next flood. It just so happens that the latest iteration was partially caused by man. The original plan was to divert some Colorado River water to the depression and use the lake bed for farming, but, the plan went wrong and the whole depression was instead flooded creating the modern form of the lake. But, the lake, per se, was certainty not planned as an artificial anything, and its existence is really just part of the natural cycle of the area, only the last flood was helped by people. — Preceding unsigned comment added by WJF3 ( talk • contribs) 00:33, 28 July 2018 (UTC)
