History & History Related Items
The first to inhabit this area were the Serrano and the Cahuilla Indians. The California mission system was also a help to the settlement of this area as roads were established between the Arizona missions and the California missions. This pass area had most of this traffic coming through. The town wasn't named until 1929 when a "name contest" was begun. The winner, a Mrs. Church, won $ 10.00 for the winning name of Calimesa. Cali is from California and Mesa is a Spanish word meaning table lands. At this time, the first post office was established helping the new community to really feel official.
