In 2007, voted the top 100 cities to live in according to the Money Magazine.

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 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.

It is also the home of Ontario Mills and former home of the Ontario Motor Speedway. It takes its name from the Ontario Model Colony development established in 1882 by the Canadian engineer George Chaffey and his brothers William Chaffey and Charles Chaffey. They named the settlement after their home province of Ontario, Canada. Nearby cities include Norco, Walnut, Diamond Bar, Fontana, Glendora.

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. During the Great Depression and World War II, tourism declined nationally. But the remaining travelers' need for lodging, meals and gasoline kept the town busy.

History About 300 years ago, Colton was a crossroads and center of regional activity. In the late 1700s, explorers from Mexico first passed through on their way north to Monterey. The first permanent settlement occurred in the early 1800s which were Mexican land grants that supported agricultural activity including ranches and citrus orchards. After Southern Pacific Railway pushed through in 1875 on its way to Los Angeles, a formal town was laid out on a traditional grid street pattern, evidenced today in Colton's downtown and the south Colton neighborhood south of Interstate 10. Business included railroad and citrus with some residents building their own homes using disassembled wooden crates from railroad shipments as building materials. Railroad activity grew to both east-west and north-south regional lines crossed in Colton. The citrus industry diminished. Other businesses were dependent upon rail for materials delivery and shipment were established along the rail lines, thus creating large tracts of land devoted to industrial operations, many of which continue today. The original residential settlements remained adjacent to the rail and industrial operations, allowing local residents to walk to their jobs. The Carnegie Library was built in 1891 and now houses the Colton Area Museum. During the 1920s and Great Depression, Colton again experienced a development boom. Construction of Interstates 10 and 215 through the city brought transportation-based industries. The frenzied residential building period of post-World War II, followed 30 to 40 years later by explosive subdivision growth throughout the Inland Empire, created many new neighborhoods. A modest amount of commercial development followed to support demand for goods and services. “ A Place for Fun, A Place for Commerce" Map of Colton Location of Colton in SBC Specific Prayer Points Environment : current air quality , current fire outlook with potential wildfire, recent earthquakes , current drought is moderate, flood potential due to dam; Hazardous material facilities are present; landslides; severe wind Major employers : Arrowhead Regional Medical Center, Lineage Logistics, Ashley Furniture, Reche Canyon Convalescent Center, Best Brands Corp/CSM, Wal-Mart, City of Colton, County of San Bernardino, Stater Brothers Market Government : City council ; 3rd District in County School district : Colton Joint Unified Crime grade : [2024] overall crime grade is D; violent D; property D-; other B+; top issues theft 17% high; vehicle theft 6% Poverty %: [2024] 15.3% - 3. 3% > CA Avg 12%; one out of every 5.5 residents of Colton lives in poverty.9,817 of 53,788 Colton residents reported income levels below the poverty line in the last year.

He wanted to celebrate a successful summer season of wartime effort performances with his All-City Junior High Orchestra. Years earlier, the family of Fred’s wife, Edna, had established a church camp in the remote mountain town of Arrowbear. For one week in late August, he brought the fifty-six musicians to Arrowbear. They played concerts for local vacationers and enjoyed camp activities in the extremely rustic outdoor mountain setting. Campers had a very worthwhile experience, and parents and teachers saw the value of a musically oriented vacation. The seed was planted and next year everyone wanted to return. The retreat grew into a multi-session summer camp with full activities. It is predominantly a suburb of Running Springs which started as a logging area. Running Springs includes the small town of Arrowbear and Green Valley Lake; the latter are primarily recreational areas and suburbs of Running Springs.

Began as an agricultural community in 1913, became an industrial town by 1942 from Henry J. Kaiser’s steel mill operations during World War II, on the outskirts of town. This remained a primary source of employment until 1984 when it ceased operation. His legacy lives on at the Fontana Kaiser Permanente Facility, which now employs more than 6,000 people. Since then, the City has continued to grow rapidly due to several factors, including the development of the Kaiser Permanente Hospital facility (one of the largest medical facilities in the region) and the unparalleled population Incorporated on June 25, 1952. Fontana continues to be a vital hub for the supply chain, due to the City’s location at the crossroads of major trade routes (I-10, I-15, and SR-210) and the presence of the Union Pacific Railroad. The City is also home to many large retailers and small businesses. The Fontana Metrolink station provides a low-stress commuting option for residents working in the Los Angeles metropolitan area.
