Chino Facts, History, and Local Events
The city of Chino, California, is located in the heart of the Greater Los Angeles region, in San Bernardino County. At the western end of the area, it is about thirty odd miles to the east of Los Angeles and some twenty miles northeast of the City of Anaheim. Home to some 85,000 people, Chino is surrounded by Chino Hills, unincorporated areas of San Bernardino County, Ontario, and unincorporated areas of Riverside County, in the valley of the San Gabriel Valley Mountains. Although historically Chino has been known for its dairy farms and agriculture, it is today a good place for families, being within a half hour of more than twenty colleges and universities – both private and public. Chino is easy to get in and out of, being surrounded by major highways such as the California State Highways 60 and 71, and Interstates I-10, I-15, as well as State Highway 91. The rich Chino history of agricultural and dairy farming excellence is changing in recent times. From a place where Everything Grows, the recent past has seen Chino grow in other areas, with a significant new growth in both business and industry in the 1970s. The city has now become a well regarded residential area with a diversified commercial base.
Historically, the area was first inhabited by the Tongva Indians, whose settlement was located in the Santa Ana watershed. The Mission San Gabriel was established in the area in 1771, and some of the original inhabitants were baptized here. The land was claimed by the Spanish crown until Mexican independence at which point the possession of the area went to the Mexican government. Originally, Chino was part of the Spanish land grant that created the Rancho Santa Ana del Chino, which grew orchards and row crops. Cattle and dairy were also important. The ranch kept large bodies of horses as well as cattle which were often raided by surrounding Native Americans. Much later, during the time of the California Gold Rush, the ranch became a popular place of rest for the travelers. The City of Chino was incorporated in 1910, and by the 1970s, it had grown into one of the smaller suburban cities in the region. Since then, the development here has gradually veered towards a more middle-class lifestyle, although industrial areas and farms. Modern Chino is a full-service community, and prioritizes balanced growth while preserving the agricultural heritage of the area.
The city today has nine elementary schools, including the Alicia Cortez Elementary, the E.J. Marshall Elementary, the Dickson Elementary, the Anna Borba, and the Edwin Rhodes. It also has three junior high schools, and four high schools, and is served by the Chaffey Community College. In fact, it is within a small distance of numerous colleges and universities. The economy of the city is based primarily on services, and management, business, and financial operations are the major employers. Farming continues to be significant, although newer businesses are shifting the focus to a more commercial base. In general, the median per family income is much higher than the rest of the United States.
The city offers many options for recreation to residents and visitors alike. Nature lovers should head for the Prado Regional Park, three miles south of the airport, for a big, green space with a large lake for fishing and boating. The park also offers camping sites, golf courses, trails and facilities for horseback riding, and hiking. The Planes of Fame Museum has monthly flying exhibitions, and four hangars containing rare airplanes. The Yanks Museum focuses on American aviation history and aviation technology. For the gastronome, a drive up and down the Central Avenue is sure to throw up numerous food options. The Ruben S. Ayala Community Park and Golf Center provides skateboard parks and basketball nets along with superb golfing facilities. There is a Farmer's Market every Wednesday where residents and tourists can buy fresh produce, and the Chino Youth Museum, showcases local history.
