Among the cities of California, Grand Terrace stands out for its compact foothill setting beside the Santa Ana River corridor in the Inland Empire. The city lies between Riverside and Colton, with Blue Mountain rising along its eastern side and the wider San Bernardino–Riverside urban area close at hand. Incorporated in 1978, Grand Terrace has retained a largely residential, lower-density character, while traces of the region’s citrus-growing past remain part of its local identity. Parks and open slopes provide a contrast to the freeways, rail lines, and commercial centers that shape much of Southern California’s inland basin.
