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 locale where Interstate 10 climbs the San Gorgonio Pass going eastward from Redlands, California.
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 inside the town/city boundaries of Yucaipa, including "I-Street" (Calimesa) Park and Calimesa Elementary School.
Because State of California law prohibits the incorporation or annexation of metros/cities over county lines, the town/city was unable to adjoin what was considered the town of Calimesa when it finally incorporated.
When Yucaipa incorporated, it encompassed the region outside of the Yucaipa Valley on the "hilltop" or "mesa" that was traditionally known as Calimesa inside its town/city boundaries, so as not to leave a gap of unincorporated region between the two towns.
