In 1929 as the first roads and
canals reached inland, the city took
on new life. New buildings were
constructed, businesses were opened
and INLAND began TO take its place
among the important agricultural
sections OF the valley.
The progress of the northend city
was very slow. however, after the
initial boom in 1920. and many
persons predicted the city would
die q slow death until two years
ago when a new boom" pericd
put INLAND back on the map.
First boost received by INLAND was
The success of tomato and tender
vegetable crops in recent years. and
then the GIVE received added I'M
petus when it WAS made headqdaf-
tors of construction of the C7achella
branch Of the Ali-Amerioan canal.
1t was then that inland, long a
sleepy town whose principal claim
TO fame was the Southern Pacific
Depot ON the main line TO the
east, awoke 10 a building boom.
100 Home Built
Since the All-American canal
work began more than $50 lots have
been sold and more than 100 homes
have been constructed. Auto courts
have sprung w overnight, hotel ac-
comodationS were increased-and
still there is a housing shortage.

valley, was the population center
of the entire county. and the men
who founded the city included n
their plans the establishment of
the county seat in Imperial
Ground Questioned
But the early pioneers whose
foresight in most cases was infallible
missed when they picked Imperial
as the agricultural center the coun-
ty In those days no one had had
experience with hard ground SO
they did not realize they were pick
ing less productive piece of soil
for townsite.
The accident" not only lost the
original founders a lot of money
but was the real reason why Ell
Centre was able to win the county
seat in 1907
The mother town was planted in
1901, staked and put on the market.
Buyers were immediate. Imperial
was the center of all activity. Sur
veyors worked out of Imperial, far
mers came miles in slow carts fol-
their weeks supply of groceries.
1t was the first location of every
thing-the first church, brick build
ing, print shop, grocery store, hard
ware, blacksmith shop, hotel and
lumber yard.
After the loss of the county seat
election, Imperial's businessmen
went ahead undaunted and for q
great many years continued to
match the pace of the rest of the
valley. But as time wore on far
merS found the land close to In
perial to be less popular for crop
raising.
Thus it was that Imperial became
the headquarters for the Imperial
Irrigation district and Pacific Land
and Cattle corporation, and it is
upon industries like those, rather
than directly upon agriculture that
the future. of Imperial depends.
Activity Program
And it is upon that basis that the
leading citizens of Imperial laid the
foundation for their program TO
put life in the old gall in 1941.
The program to increase activity
in Imperial was headed by Mayor
w. l.. Townsend and Johnny Lin
coin, committee chairman. Every
organization in the city sprang to
the aid of the leaders and it is
with a new spirit that Imperial
residents survey the assets of their
city today.
Downtown business houses were
painted. streets were cleaned and
the general "face-lifting" process
claimed the attention of every citi-
zen from the mayor to the school
student.
