Fontana: I-10 : (18) 1.0 Miles West of Cherry
Fontana lies along the southern floor of the San Bernardino Valley, a broad inland plain set between the San Gabriel Mountains to the north and the Jurupa Hills to the south. Founded in 1913 by Azariel Blanchard Miller, the community began as an agricultural settlement shaped by citrus groves and irrigated farmland. Its twentieth-century identity was transformed by Kaiser Steel, whose Fontana mill became a major wartime industrial operation. Interstate 10 now cuts through a city of established neighborhoods, warehouses and freight facilities, reflecting Fontana’s place in the logistics economy of the Inland Empire. The San Bernardino Mountains rise farther east, while the wider valley links metropolitan Los Angeles with Southern California’s desert interior.

Tucked on the inland plain below the San Gabriel Mountains, Fontana is a city whose character is shaped by Southern California’s dry, warm Inland Empire climate. Once an agricultural community associated with citrus groves, it changed rapidly during the Second World War when Henry J. Kaiser established the Fontana steel mill, bringing industrial jobs and new residents. Today, Fontana is among San Bernardino County’s larger cities, with residential neighbourhoods, logistics businesses and major transport connections across the Los Angeles basin. Its history reflects the broader transformation of inland Southern California from farmland into a major metropolitan region.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
