History From 1952 its groundwater was contaminated with Chromium 6 by PG&E who used it to prevent rust in their natural gas transmission pipelines. In 1993, Erin Brockovich, a legal clerk to lawyer Edward L. Masry, investigated the apparent elevated cluster of illnesses in the community linked to the Chromium 6. Residents of Hinkley eventually filed a class action lawsuit against Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E). The case was settled in 1996 for $333 million, the largest settlement ever paid in a direct-action lawsuit in United States history. After that, Mr. Sanchez created a project where residents could discuss their concerns and find out what the water status was in their area. They consistently wrote and asked questions of the famous Mr. Izbicki, who was well known for his knowledge on water contamination. Still today they struggle, the town has diminished in population. Some stay for the country, small town neighborhood they enjoy. Many have to keep checking their water for contamination. They hope someday the water will be free from contaminants and the prices of their homes will increase. PG&E currently owns about two-thirds of all the property in town. For Hinkley to endure, the people who remain must navigate a complex network of stakeholders — including working with the company who poisoned their water in the first place. “Famous for The Erin Brockovich case made into a film."

History Incorporated since November 24, 1987. City started from different settlements in 1856 a section named as Cramville after the first white settlers, John Henry Cram and six of his eight sons. In 1857, the first white settler, Henry Rabel, bought forty acres then 80 more acres. Area became known as Rabel Springs because of a pond filled with water from artesian and thermal wells. Rabel erected bath houses and an eleven-room hotel with options to bathe in the medicinal springs. Place became a popular recreation spot with the founding of Harlem Springs in 1887. With a swimming pool, bath houses, an entertainment hall, and picnic grounds, Harlem attracted many guests. First county road built in 1860 developed to carry supplies to the gold mines in Bear Valley, became known later as the Old County Road, Third Street, and is now Fifth Street. In 1873 a settlement called Messina was established at Base Line and Palm Avenue. Post Office was established in 1887 in the grocery store. In early times the vast area of valley and mountain land was inhabited only by the native Indians until the arrival of the Spaniards in 1772. A band of Indians lived near the base of the foothills as early as 1870 under the leadership of Captain Manuel Santos. The springs at Rabel and Harlem had been a favorite spot of the early Indians, and were actually in a portion of the land north of the Santa Ana River known as Agua Caliente, which included what is now Arrowhead Hot Springs, Rabel, Harlem, Urbita and Siena Springs. In 1885 the last of these Serrano Indians were moved by the government to the San Manuel Reservation. At one time there were more Indians than white in the valley, but a smallpox epidemic in 1862 wiped out whole rancherias. These reservation Indians did much of the manual labor in the area. The women wove beautiful baskets using pine needles and grasses, almost a lost art today. The reservation is now known for its successful Bingo game operations. Organized in 1906, the Highland Chamber of Commerce became an organizing force in the development of the early Highland area. In this unincorporated district, the Chamber of Commerce became the mayor, town clerk, and common council, organizing many important and active committee on roads and road care, beautification of the area, and studies of grove and citrus problems. The organization became a supporting unit of the many activities involving the citizens and area industries. The Chamber has remained active through the years, and was a prime force in the formation of the present City of Highland, incorporated November 24, 1987, a city of 32,300 acres covering 13 square miles. In 1984 Highland celebrated its 100 year beginning from its early days as Messina. Click on the History link to learn more. “Come home to Highland.

Over next 500 years, Rialto went through multiple iterations – as a Mexican land grant, a ranching and railroad center, a popular stop along Route 66, and, ultimately, a thriving population and economic center for Southern California’s Inland Empire. Only 1,500 called it home in the 1800s. One remnant of that period still stands – an adobe building from the early 19th century at what is now Bud Bender Park. In 1887 that Rialto’s townsite was laid out by the Semi-Tropic Land and Water Company after the Santa Fe Railroad was extended between San Bernardino and Los Angeles. In 1888, the first school was built, and Brooke School District was formed, operating as such until 1920. The prominent Rialto Trapp family bought the first schoolhouse in 1921, remodeled the building, and members of the family resided in it until it was destroyed by fire. Rialto School District formed in 1891; staff consisted of two teachers, a principal with separate play areas for the boys and girls. The Chamber of Commerce was established in 1907, and by 1911, Rialto was home to 40 businesses and a local newspaper. Foothill Boulevard was repaired in 1913 and became U.S. Route 66 a section of the U.S. highway system. In 1914, Los Angeles’ Pacific Electric Railway completed its San Bernardino Line through the City of Rialto, with a junction at Riverside Avenue for the Riverside Line. Today the Tracks above First Street are a part of the Union Pacific and the Pacific Electric depot on Riverside Avenue is Cuca’s Restaurant. A fire in the 1920s swept through and destroyed many of the buildings in the downtown area. Beginning in 1950 the population was over 3K and by 1956 it soared to 15,359.

Map of Redlands Location of Redlands in SBC History The area now occupied by Redlands was originally part of the territory of the Morongo and Aguas Calientes tribes of Cahuilla people. Explorations such as those of Pedro Fages and Francisco Garcés sought to extend Catholic influence to the indigenous people and the dominion of the Spanish crown into the area in the 1770s. The Serrano (Mountain-dwelling Cahuilla) village of Guachama, located just to the west of present-day Redlands, was visited by Fr. Francisco Dumetz in 1810, and was the reason the site was chosen for a mission outpost. Dumetz reached the village on May 20, the feast day of Saint Bernardino of Siena, and thus named the region the San Bernardino Valley. The Franciscan friars from San Gabriel established the San Bernardino Asistencia in 1819 and embarked on the usual program of training the native tribes to raise crops and encouraging permanent settlements. By 1820, a ditch, known as a zanja, was dug by the natives for the friars from Mill Creek to the Asistencia. In 1822, word of the Mexican triumph in the War of Independence reached the inland area, and lands previously claimed by Spain passed to the custody of the Mexican government. In 1842, the Lugo family bought the Rancho San Bernardino Mexican land grant and this became the first fixed settler civilization in the area. The area northwest of current Redlands, astride the Santa Ana River, would become known as Lugonia. In 1851, the area received its first Anglo inhabitants in the form of several hundred Mormon pioneers, who purchased the entire Rancho San Bernardino, founded nearby San Bernardino, and established a prosperous farming community watered by the many lakes and streams of the San Bernardino Mountains. The Mormon community left wholesale in 1857, recalled to Utah by Brigham Young during the tensions with the federal government that ultimately led to the brief Utah War. Benjamin Barton purchased 1,000 acres (4 km2) from the Latter-day Saints and planted extensive vineyards and built a winery. Motto: “Live. Work.

Mormon settlers came shortly after, arriving in the San Bernardino Valley, during the 1850s. According to the Riverside Press, in 1876, there were nine buildings in the Terrace-Colton area. Originally, the area was simply referred to as "the Terrace", but the word "Grand" was added around 1898 due to the beautiful views which surround the city. In 1905, Seventh-day Adventists, whose medical university is now located in nearby Loma Linda, settled in the area. Grand Terrace, at the time known as "South Colton", experienced continued growth and development during the Southern California suburbia and sunbelt periods in the late half of the 20th century. The development of Grand Terrace, or East Riverside, as the Grand Terrace-Highgrove area was called, became a reality with the construction of the Gage Canal. This 22-1/2-mile canal, built at a cost of 2 million dollars, brought water from the Santa Ana River marshlands below The Terrace. With plenty of irrigation water, Grand Terrace rapidly became an agricultural community featuring fine, quality citrus. However, the severe "freeze" of 1913 destroyed many groves. Walnuts, a hardier tree, were planted as replacements along with peaches as a quick-profit crop. The social activities in the early 1900s centered around the Farm Bureau Extension Service and the Women's Club, followed by the PTA, in the 1930s. Since there were no local churches, people traveled to surrounding communities for worship and other church activities. In 1962, the Grand Terrace Chamber of Commerce was organized. From the very beginning the Chamber was interested in preserving the local identity of the area, and therefore, was a strong supporter of cityhood. This group did much of the groundwork, which led to the formation of a local governing body in 1976, which was called the Municipal Advisory Council or MAC. After nearly two years of meetings and negotiations with the county, the residents went to the polls to decide the issue of cityhood. The response was an 82% vote for incorporation. On November 30, 1978, the Charter City Council was installed at Terrace Hills Junior High and Grand Terrace officially became the 16th city in San Bernardino County. “O, Terrace, my Terrace a small town with heart; So lovely, so lively, a city apart. With people who love you, who make up your core, and leaders who guide you, protect you, and more. Blue Mountain looks over neat houses and lawn, And so this sweet haven that's yet in its dawn. Green orchards and farmland still guard us from noise, Our jewel of the Southland, secure in its poise. O, Terrace, my Terrace, I feel so at ease, In comfort and beauty, midst mountain and trees. The city I've wanted now shines in our land; You're my special home place - -- you've earned the name, "Grand ".

Demographics : the median age of the male population is 38 and the female population is 39.4. overall crime grade is F [see below for more information] History Initially the indigenous Yuhaaviatam, later renamed the Serranos by the Spaniards. The Serranos also inhabited what is now Yucaipa, Mentone/Crafton, and Redlands. They spent the summers because it was cooler to hunt and fish and gather food. They returned to the warmer valleys at the base of the mountains in the autumn after gathering acorns, a staple of their diet. The first building was a sawmill built under the direction of Mormon settlers who became the first year-round resident managers of the mill from 1854 to 1858. Marble and onyx was discovered in the canyon in 1888 which led to the development of the town of Burris Camp. But this gave way when the resources diminished. In 1897, Richard Jackson built Forest Home Resort, on 167 acres. He sold the resort to his brother-in-law, Thomas Akers, who expanded it. It went through several owners until 1938 when Dr. Henrietta Mears purchased it. It became Forest Home Christian Conference Center. Banker N.L. Levering purchased subdivided the land into home sites, calling it the Valley of the Falls Tract. By 1930, four more resorts operated in upper Mill Creek Canyon; Big Falls Lodge, Torreys, Big Pine Resort, and the Elkhorn Inn, owned by Mrs. James A. Roulette. Forest Home had a post office, but Mrs. Roulette petitioned the U.S. government for a second one and won the right to operate it in her store in 1929 as the Fallsvale post office. In 1960, the Forest Home and Fallsvale post offices combined to create Forest Falls, the new name for the previously separate communities of Valley of the Falls, Fallsvale, and Forest Home. “Stop to meet the Lord in Forest Falls, surrounded by the beauty of His creation " Map of Forest Falls Location of Forest Falls in SBC Specific Prayer Points Spiritual Churches unite & experience revival Intercessors arise and pray for both churches Environmental Fires, floods and mudslides Governed by: SBC 3rd District Supervisor Crime issues : [2024] overall crime grade is C-; violent crime grade D+; property crime D; other crime grade A.

The National Old Trails (N.O.T.) planned a road from Los Angeles to New York, and they aligned it next to the AT & Santa Fe railroad tracks from Cajon Pass to Needles. The road passed through what would later become Lenwood, established after 1923. Frank Woods and his wife Ellen subdivided a plot of land of 1,540 acres that they owned, west of Barstow. It worth around $17,000 and to develop it, they established the Lenwood Estates ran by William Barnard, an insolvent character who in turn set up the fictitious Arizona-California Land Company to sell it to gullible investors during the 1920s real estate bubble. There was an agreement between Barnard and the Woods to subdivide the land, sell it promising improvements, and reap some $200,000 for the three of them. The intention, as proven later in court, was to cheat and defraud investors because they abandoned the scheme without building the promised improvements, defaulting on the building materials supplier and the bank. They lost their case in court, but the town finally survived and prospered, linked to Route 66 which was created shortly after. The name was the brainchild of Frank Woods, who adapted it from his wife's name (Ellen) and his surname (Woods) so "Ellen Woods" became "Lenwood". In 1926, the N.O.T. highway became part of the US highway network and the section west of New Mexico became US 66. Nevertheless Route 66 was known as the "National Old Trails Road" for many years in California. Lenwood found itself on a new highway. After the war, traffic grew peaking in 1960: over 1.1 million travelers passed through Lenwood that year. A new safer road was needed and it was finally built: I-15 and I-40 the interstate highways replaced both US 66 and US 91 in this area which hurt many of the Route 66 motels and shops catering to travelers in Lenwood.

Map of Ontario History In 1881 George Chaffey, a Canadian engineer, viewed the area known as the Cucamonga Desert and decided this land "San Antonio lands," could become productive with the water rights. He expanded the Southern Pacific Railroad tracks on the south and discovered the region was a great source of water. Ontario Colony lands went on sale in 1882. The centerpiece was Euclid Avenue, eight miles long and two hundred feet wide, the twin "driveways" separated by a parkway which was seeded in grass and lined with pepper trees. George named Euclid Avenue after the great Greek mathematician whose book Elements of Geometry had been a favorite subject for George in school. To use the land, water had to be found and brought to the town. Chaffey laid miles of cement pipe for this purpose and later the San Antonio Water Co. drove a tunnel into the head of the canyon to tap the underground flow; electric power to lift water from deep wells led to the establishment of the Ontario Power Co. The Chaffey brothers went off to Australia to attempt a repeat performance of their success as city planners here. Then Charles Frankish became the next guiding force. In 1887, Ontario’s unique "gravity mule car," which served until 1895, when it was replaced by an electric streetcar. In 1891, Ontario was incorporated and was first developed as an agricultural community, largely due to the citrus trees. Chaffey College, which was located where the Chaffey brothers put it until 1960, originally emphasized agricultural subjects to give the growers a hand. It was there that Prof. George Weldon developed the Babcock peach, an adaptation to California’s mild winters. The college moved to Rancho Cucamonga now, but Chaffey High School is still on what was originally a joint campus. The groves moved to the West End which included oranges, peaches, walnuts, lemons and grapes. In 1923, Judge Archie Mitchell, Waldo Waterman, and some other airplane enthusiasts established Latimer Field. From that time on, the town became increasingly aviation conscious. Urban growth pushed the fliers progressively east, until they took up their present location, the Ontario International Airport. During World War II, this was a busy training center for pilots of the hot Lockheed P-38 "Lightning" twin-boom fighter. Since World War II, Ontario has become a much more diversified community. The mean temperature of 61 degrees and the average rainfall of 18.4" continues to attract more residents. The city has expanded from the 0.38 square mile area incorporated back in 1891, up to almost 50 square miles. The economy now reflects an industrial and manufacturing base. Ten thousand acres are zoned for industrial use. With three major railroads, the San Bernardino, Pomona, and Devore Freeways (10, 60, and 15), and the Ontario International Airport. Ontario is well provided with major transportation resources. Its proximity to Los Angeles ensures that Ontario will continue to grow in the years ahead. Ontario’s official song is "Beautiful Ontario," written by Paul Coronel in 1960. The official flower is the Charlotte Armstrong rose, developed by local nurseryman John Armstrong and named for his first wife. At different times, Ontario has adopted as its slogan or motto each of the following: The Model Colony; The Model City; The City That Charms; Ontario Offers Opportunity; Pulse of the Inland Empire; Stop and Grow with Ontario; Gateway to the Inland Empire; A Balanced Community; The Gateway to Southern California; and Southern California's Next Urban Center. “A sustained, community-wide prosperity which continuously adds value and yields benefits."

Lewis Kingman, an engineer for Atlantic & Pacific Railroad, started the town as the first of a series of alphabetical railroad stations that were to be constructed across the Mojave Desert. In 1926, Amboy became a boom town after U.S. Route 66 opened. In 1938, Roy's Motel and Café opened and prospered due to its isolated location on the route. By 1940, Amboy's population had increased to 65. Its growth was tied not only to tourists, but also to the Santa Fe Railroad over which freight trains still run today between Kingman, Arizona and the BNSF Railway Barstow, California yard.
