Somerton: Agriculture and Community in the Yuma Valley
Somerton is a small agricultural city in Yuma County, located about 12 miles south of Yuma and roughly 5 miles from the Mexican border. The population is approximately 15,000, predominantly Hispanic, with deep ties to the farming economy of the lower Colorado River valley. Lettuce, citrus, and dates are among the crops produced on the irrigated fields surrounding the town.
The Cocopah Indian Reservation borders Somerton to the west. Seasonal agricultural labor has historically shaped the local workforce, though the city has worked to diversify with light manufacturing and service jobs. Avenue B, the main north-south road, connects Somerton to Yuma and the interstate system.
Summers are extreme, regularly exceeding 110 degrees. The mild winters attract seasonal workers and snowbirds to the broader Yuma area. The Yuma Territorial Prison State Historic Park and the Yuma Quartermaster Depot are nearby historical attractions, while the Algodones border crossing in Mexico, popular for dental and medical tourism, is a short drive west.
