Welcome to Fontana

Fontana (pop: 180,000) was founded in 1913, it remained essentially rural until World War II, when a large steel mill arrived in the area. It is now a regional hub of the trucking industry, with Interstate 10 and State Route 210 transecting the city from east to west, and Interstate 15 passing diagonally through its northwestern quadrant.

Fontana is home to the largest of the San Bernardino County system libraries, a renovated historic theater, a municipal park, and the Auto Club Speedway on the site of the Kaiser Steel Mill.
