Holtville is a warm and welcoming city of just over 6,000 residents with traditional small town values. With historic Holt Park and City Hall at its center, Holtville is ideally situated 120 miles east of San Diego, 225 miles southeast of Los Angeles and 40 miles west of Yuma, Arizona. We are located 10 miles north of Mexicali, Mexico, the capital of Baja California, with easy border access through the East Port of Entry just a few miles directly south on State Highway 7. Mexicali has a population of over one million people, giving Holtville ideal location to take advantage of economic opportunities afforded by NAFTA, with plenty of land available for development at the intersection of State Highway 7 and Interstate 8.
