Calimesa is a relatively young California city, only incorporated in 1990. This Inland Empire land of plenty  on the border of Riverside County and San Bernardino County in the San Gorgonio Mountain Pass grew out of its convenience--the I-10 freeway passes by Calimesa.

Bragging rights include cleaner air and cooler temperatures than neighboring cities, attributed largely to its elevation -- 2,392 feet.

Slightly older than average, the population tends toward retirees  who are  predominantly Caucasian, and generally live  in owner-occupied housing.

Small town ways give in to city growth: New development approved bring thousands of new residents to Calimesa-- Summerwind Ranch, Mesa Verde Estates, Heritage Oaks, and JP Ranch.

The Shoppes at Calimesa, County Line Village  and a variety of new shops and stores are also part of the growth. 

Special events in Calimesa have included Calimesa Street Faire in October. The event features food vendors, crafts, and live entertainment with bands.
