About A Rich History of Community Leadership Founded in the 1940s as the Calimesa Improvement Association, our organization has been at the heart of Calimesa's growth and development. Since its inception, we've dedicated ourselves to promoting the community, providing essential services, and advocating for the needs of our residents. In the early years, the Chamber played a pivotal role in establishing key community infrastructure. We donated land for the local fire department, spearheaded the creation of street lighting, and were instrumental in the development of the 11-acre park on Avenue I. Our efforts extended beyond city boundaries, as we collaborated with neighboring Yucaipa Valley to ensure the park's completion. Recognizing the importance of community engagement, we took a lead role in the city's incorporation process. Through the tireless efforts of dedicated volunteers, Calimesa became an incorporated city on December 1, 1990, marking a significant milestone in our history. Today, the Calimesa Chamber of Commerce continues to be a driving force in our community. We remain committed to fostering economic growth, supporting local businesses, and enhancing the quality of life for our residents. Mission To foster a thriving Calimesa where businesses and residents connect, collaborate, and prosper. The Calimesa Chamber is dedicated to promoting and supporting the economic vitality of our community. We serve as a central hub for information, resources, and networking opportunities, connecting businesses, residents, and local organizations. As a not-for-profit organization, we rely on the generous support of our members and volunteers to carry out our mission. Through your involvement, we can continue to provide valuable services, advocate for local businesses, and enhance the quality of life in Calimesa. Join us in building a stronger, more vibrant community! Vision The Calimesa Chamber of Commerce envisions a thriving community where businesses flourish, residents enjoy a high quality of life, and local entrepreneurship is celebrated. We strive to create a supportive environment that fosters economic growth, promotes community engagement, and strengthens the overall well-being of Calimesa. By providing valuable resources, networking opportunities, and advocacy for local businesses, we aim to position Calimesa as a vibrant and desirable destination for both residents and visitors alike.

Calimesa History Calimesa Chamber of Commerce local history information City of Calimesa History of Calimesa The City of Calimesa was incorporated on December 1, 1990, soon after the incorporation of its northern neighbor, the City of Yucaipa. Prior to its incorporation, the City of Calimesa existed as an unincorporated census designated town that straddled the Riverside–San Bernardino County line at the location where Interstate 10 climbs the San Gorgonio Pass going eastward from Redlands, California Calimesa City Limits Historically, Calimesa is divided from the City of Yucaipa by the Wildwood Canyon Wash; politically, "County Line Road" divides the two towns. Much of what was originally known as "Calimesa" actually lies within the city boundaries of Yucaipa, including "I-Street" (Calimesa) Park and Calimesa Elementary School. Because State of California law prohibits the incorporation or annexation of cities over county lines, the city was unable to adjoin what was considered the town of Calimesa when it finally incorporated. When Yucaipa incorporated, it included the area outside of the Yucaipa Valley on the "hilltop" or "mesa" that was traditionally known as Calimesa within its city boundaries, so as not to leave a gap of unincorporated area between the two towns. Although the two cities are in separate counties, both Yucaipa and Calimesa share the same basic street grid system and addressing, including many named and alphabetical streets which extend from Yucaipa well into Calimesa. The general boundary between the two cities is County Line Road, which ironically does not follow the exact county line in some places due to the alignment of Calimesa Creek, which meanders in and out of both Yucaipa and Calimesa. The city limits of Calimesa also extend southwest to the City of Beaumont, California. Although much less refined, the boundaries between Beaumont and Calimesa fall generally along the Southern California Edison (SCE) right-of-way that extends from the El Casco electrical sub-station facility near Moreno Valley, California eastward. Near Interstate 10, Champions Drive is the common boundary between the two cities. Beginnings Historically, Calimesa began as a small rural town with mostly single-family homes and ranches. With completion of U.S.Route 99 (modern day I-10 freeway), businesses opened and Calimesa began to feel a separate identity from the larger neighboring town of Yucaipa. In June 1929 nearly 100 residents attended a meeting and decided to apply for their own post office and to state a “name contest” in which the winner was paid $10. Calimesa was chosen from 107 names submitted; and is said to come from “cali” (meaning California) and “mesa” from the Spanish word meaning “table" or table-lands.” The first post office was the grocery store at Calimesa Boulevard and Avenue "K". The modern history of the area was initiated with the establishment of Spanish Missions in Alta California in 1769. The need for a land route to these missions inspired Captain Juan Bautista de Anza to lead a party through the area in 1774. As early as 1820, reference can be found to the messenger foot path for the missions in Arizona to the San Gabriel Mission. The Assistencia in Redlands (which has been rebuilt) and the San Gorgonio Rancheria were part of the San Gabriel Mission located near today’s Los Angeles. The San Gorgonio Rancheria was located in what is now Cherry Valley near Edgar Canyon. The site of San Gorgonio Rancheria, the location of the present Highland Springs Resort, Whitewater, and a house at the east end of present day Singleton Road in Calimesa became stage stops along this path. The post office reinforced the residents' feeling of a community separate from the town of Yucaipa. In 1939 or 1940, the Calimesa Improvement Association, Inc. was formed. According to the constitution of the association, “The object and purpose of the association shall be the development and improvement of Calimesa and The Community”. Volunteers built a community center at the corner of Bryant and Avenue H, which had been designated a park site by the Redlands-Yucaipa Land Company. The "South Mesa Water Company" purchased the land for a well site and allowed the association to use it for community events. In 1962 the Calimesa Improvement Association became the Calimesa Chamber of Commerce. The Improvement Association and the Chamber have operated as a mix of promoting Calimesa, providing community service, and being a sounding board for residents’ problems. Prior to 1949 the fire protection for the valley was provided by the California Department of Forestry at the Avenue A station, which today is the office of County Service Area 63 in Yucaipa. Calimesa community members felt the need for more protection on the south side of the wash, so in 1949 they formed the Volunteer Fire Department.
