A message from the City Manager's Desk  

Welcome to the City of Holtville’s web site. Holtville is a warm and welcoming city with a traditional small town flavor centered around our historic Holt Park and City Hall.  This web site is to provide you with a brief overview of this quaint community and the opportunities we can provide for you, your family and your business enterprise.

Holtville has a population of 6,000 and is ideally situated 120 miles east of San Diego, 225 miles southeast of Los Angeles, and 40 miles west of Yuma Arizona.  Holtville is only 10 miles north of Mexicali, Mexico with easy border access through the east port of entry on the new State Highway 7, which connects to Interstate 8 at Holtville.  Mexicali is the capital of Baja California, Mexico with a population of over one million people. Holtville has the ideal location to take advantage of opportunities afforded by NAFTA, with plenty of land available for development north of the border at the intersection of State Highway 7 Interstate 8.

Economic development and business enterprises in the City are starting to take off as Holtville offers easy access to the large metropolitan areas in Mexico, California and Arizona; little or no traffic congestion; planned infrastructure improvements designed for expansion, and friendly well-trained City personnel providing excellent city services.  We are a full service city with low crime rates, good schools, a library, 14 different churches, recreational programs, three parks, and a community swimming pool.  We invite you to visit us and learn more about our friendly town. 

Thank you for visiting and if you have any questions or suggestions to improve the way we deliver the information, please call (760) 356-2912 or e-mail us at mail@holtville.ca.gov
