Fontana: I-15 : (92) Cherry Undercross
Fontana lies along the broad San Bernardino Valley, where the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains rise north of an urban Inland Empire plain. Its position between Los Angeles and Southern California’s desert routes has made transport central to the city’s identity: Interstate 15 runs through Fontana as a major north–south freight and commuter corridor. The community was founded in 1913 by A. B. Miller as an agricultural settlement, with citrus groves and vineyards shaping its early economy. From 1942, the Kaiser Steel mill transformed Fontana into an important wartime and postwar industrial center. Today, residential districts, logistics facilities and industry sit side by side across this fast-growing part of the Inland Empire.

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.
