Ontario: I-10 : (07) East of Euclid
Built around an irrigated agricultural colony, Ontario grew into a major Inland Empire city. It lies in the San Bernardino Valley, south of the San Gabriel Mountains, within the wider Los Angeles basin. The city was founded in 1882 by the Chaffey brothers, whose planned colony used water brought from the mountains to turn dry land into productive farms. Euclid Avenue, its long, broad central boulevard, remains a defining trace of that original plan. Today Ontario combines established residential districts with Ontario International Airport, warehousing and freeway corridors that reflect its role in Southern California’s distribution economy.

The terrain around Ontario is a broad, semi-arid alluvial plain beneath the San Gabriel Mountains, which has shaped both its low-rise urban grid and its early agricultural economy. Founded in 1882 as the Ontario Model Colony by brothers George and William Chaffey, the city grew through irrigation and citrus cultivation; Euclid Avenue, laid out as a grand north–south boulevard, remains a defining route. Ontario is now a transport and logistics hub of Southern California’s Inland Empire, with Ontario International Airport and a major convention center. Foothill Boulevard follows the historic Route 66 corridor through the city’s northern side. See how Ontario fits within the Inland Empire by browsing webcams nearby.

California occupies a long Pacific coastal belt in the United States. Its terrain ranges from the Sierra Nevada and the fertile Central Valley to deserts in the southeast and the rugged shores of the Pacific Ocean. The state includes both Mount Whitney, the highest point in the contiguous United States, and extensive protected lands such as Yosemite National Park. California’s cities have exerted worldwide influence through film, technology, agriculture, and music; Hollywood remains an enduring symbol of the American screen industry. Its scale means climates and local character can change dramatically from one county to the next. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of California.

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.
