The History of the city of Fontana, California

Check our San Bernardino webpage for the early history of this region.

The San Bernardino & Los Angeles Railway incorporated in 1886 and built a line between San Bernardino and Duarte the following year. At Duarte it linked with the Los Angeles and San Gabriel Valley Railroad that went through Pasadena and Arroyo Seco into downtown Los Angeles.

Twentyfive stations were established along the line, every 2,600 yards and many of the current towns grew up around them like Fontana, Rialto and Cucamonga. The Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe railroad bought out these competing railroads and completed its line from St. Louis to Los Angeles.

In 1887, the Semi-Tropic Land and Water company founded several townsites in the area: Rialto, Bloomington, and Fontana. But the colony never took off. Semi-Tropic went bankrupt shortly after.

In 1905, the Fontana Development Co. acquired its 15,587 acres of land and Azariel Blanchard Miller developed the area by founding a new town, named "Rosena". He expanded the company to Fontana Co. in 1912, and in 1913 renamed the town, after the company, as "Fontana." It prospered as a "fruit colony" with lemon and orange groves (like the "Orange Girl" brand pictured).

The National Old Trails or N.O.T. highway was aligned through the area in the early 1910s, paved and later, in 1926 adopted as the alignment for Route 66. It was an open country with orange groves spotted with some buildings along the roadway. Nowadays this eastern part of Historic Route 66 in the Greater LA is still pretty open, with a few fields and some empty lots, but nearer Los Angeles the old classic fruit stands, motels, service stations and shops have been razed and replaced by newer buildings and shopping malls.

Fontana Trivia

The Hells Angels Motorcycle Club was founded in Fontana, in 1948.

The town incorporated in 1952 and shortly after, the freeway system in LA would start to divert traffic away from Route 66. By 1964, Route 66 had been replaced by the freeway, though it remained a highway here until 1973; in 1966 Fontana joined the city of Duarte trying to have a large sign posted in San Bernardino to announce that Route 66 remained a through route into Los Angeles, they failed.

The Weather in Fontana

Location of Fontana on Route 66

Fontana has a Continental Mediterranean climate, that has hot and dry summers with cool and chilly winters.

The strong, hot and dry Santa Ana winds blow through Cajon Pass can be felt during autumn (fall). They dry the area increasing the risk of wildfires the foothill and canyon communities.

During winter, the average high in (Jan) is 69°F (20°C) and the average low is 46°F (7.2°C). For summer the average high is 95°F (35°C) and the average low is 63°F (16.8°C). Rainfall averages 14.8 in. per year (375 mm), with the period April to October being the driest one.

Snow can be seen on the San Gabriel Mountains, but never along Route 66.

Tornado risk

As Fontana is located very far from the Rocky Montains (western limit for tornados), there is no risk of tornados in this area.

From the N.O.T. Highway to U.S. 66

The use of the automobile had grown considerably during the early 1900s and there was a need for better roads, the The National Old Trails (N.O.T.) Association was organized to promote a highway between Los Angeles and New York; which was aligned close to the tracks of the AT & Santa Fe railroad through California and Arizona, passing through Fontana's townsite. The Foothill Boulevard was improved in 1913 and the Automobile Club of Southern California's map of 1912 shows the N.O.T. highway running on the north side of the Santa Fe Railroad all the way to Cucamonga. In those days Fontana did not appear in the map (it was named the following year).

In 1926, the N.O.T. alignment became part of the newly created U.S. Highway 66. And it was gradually improved and widened after that date. The map below was published one year later (1927) and you can follow Route 66 from Victorville through Cajon, San Bernardino and west into Los Angeles; Fontana appears in the map.

The thumbnail map shows the alignment of Route 66 from Victorville to Los Angeles, you can see Fontana.

The map above shows the same area in 1956; a freeway now links Victorville with Cajon and San Bernardino with Los Angeles. Fontana appears west of San Bernardino.
In 1964 the western terminus of Route 66 was formally moved from Santa Monica to Needles CA; however, only the highways up to Pasadena were decertified, the remaining ones remained signed as Route 66 until I-40 was completed between Barstow and Needles in the early 1970s, bypassing Fontana for good.

Fontana's Landmarks and Attractions

Classic US 66 sights!

Historic Context of Route 66

The "Guide to the Golden State" written in 1939 by WPA, said the following about this section of Route 66 during the pre-World War II days:

West of San Bernardino US 66 runs along the base of the Sierra Madre Mountains through the heart of a picture post card landscape orange groves overlooked by snowcapped peaks. The tile-roofed stucco towns among the orchards along the way are starting points for roads and trails into the forested mountains.
From [Rialto] US 66 runs through billowing foothills past miles of citrus groves and vineyards.
The boulevard skirts the northern edge of FONTANA, 5.2 m. (1,242 alt., 6,120 pop.), in a section of small citrus, grape, walnut, poultry, and rabbit farms. West of Fontana vineyards cover the foothills, dotted with wineries. WPA (1939)

The 1940s Caltrans road map shows Route 66 running straight west along Foothill Blvd., through Rialto and Fontana, then south of Etiwanda and Alta Loma and into Cucamonga. It was here that the Route 66 traveller encountered the eastern part of the Los Angeles suburbs, leaving the vast deserts behind.

Jack DeVere Rittenhouse drove along Route 66 in 1946, gathering information for his book "A Guide Book to Highway 66", he described this area, with it small towns as follows: " Many of them are so close together as to be practically indistinguishable from each other... at 320 mi. you pass through one edge of FONTANA, where Henry Kaiser built the first steel blast furnace west of the Rockies during World War II. Now you pass through vineyard country and orange groves."

The 1954 guide "U.S. 99, U.S. 101, U.S. 395 : with important connecting routes and national parks" published by the Automobile Club of Southern California, ¹ stated:

Fontana, Calif. Alt. 1,242 Pop. 22,500
Fontana, 7 miles west of San Bernardino, on U.S. 66, and in an area producing diversified crops, including citrus fruits, grapes and walnuts, is also an important steel manufacturing center. Situated close to the Sn Gabriel and San Bernardino Mountains, Fontana has an attractive setting and is surrounded by small but thriving communities... ACSC (1954)

Fontana Sights and Stops on your Route 66 Road Trip

Detail 1943 USGS Map showing Fontana - Rialto limits
Click on image to enlarge.

Driving west from Rialto along Foothill Blvd (Historic Route 66), you enter Fontana when you cross N Maple Ave., but this wasn't always so. The numbering system along Foothill in Rialto and Fontana changed in the 1950s, so the addresses marked on vintage postcards differ from the current ones.
The 1943 USGS map -click on it to enlarge it- shows that the city limits between Rialto and Fontana was located at N Linden Ave. and not one block west, at N Maple Ave, as it is nowadays. You can see Mac’s Garage and Auto Court that we described in our Rialto page as being in Fontana in those days! Now it is in Rialto.

Fon-Tan Motel (gone)

The 1954 ACSC guidea and the 1963 local telephone directory mention this hotel as being located at 18388 E. Foothill with 6 rooms. The current numbering starts at 18200 on N. Maple, so this motel was located on the previous block (now part of Rialto) close on the even side of the highway (north), and though it is no longer standing, you can see it in the aerial photo taken in 1959, an L-shaped layout with gable roof. It was torn down around 2003. Current numbering is 1610 W Foothill, Rialto. All that remains is the paved drive along the former central courtyard as you can see in this street view.

El Adobe Motel

Cross N Maple Ave. and the "old" city limits of Fontana, ahead to your right, at 18202 Foothill Blvd. is the former El Adobe Motel. In the 1940s it was located at 744 E. Foothill Blvd. before the number scheme was changed. It dates back to the 1940s and it appears in a 1948 aerial photograph of this area, surrounded by orange groves. Below is a "Now and Then" sequence; notice how the chamfered corner office and the Spanish tiles on the roof have survived.

The Gas station on the SW corner with N Locust Ave (18083 Foothill Blvd) has been there since the 1950s, the same can be said about the one on the NE corner with N Laurel, now a tire shop at 17890 Foothill Blvd (Street view). Both appear in the 1959 aerial photograph of this area.

Paradise Motel site

Adjacent to the tire shop, there was the Paradise motel that can be seen in the 1948 aerial photo (17858 Foothill), but it was torn down in the 2000s. Only the concrete foundations and drive have survived (St. view). Gerald and Dorothy Klein of Akron, Ohio moved here in the 1940s where they owned and operated the motel.

Rose Motel

Al Capone's hideout

Weird Stops along Route 66

Then take short side trip (3 miles round trip) to visit Al Capone's hideout home; see this map with directions.

The infamous mobster also known as "Scarface" Capone is said to have had a second residence in Fontana; it was intended to be his winter home in warm California. The property is located at 8775 Tamarind Ave. Whether it was his or not, has been debated, it is probably an urban myth.

The building has renovated and is now a private residence. The original chimney with a wrought-iron letter "C" on it (the gangster's initial) cans till be seen.

Former house of Al Capone nowadays, notice the "C" on the chimney (red arrow)

Return to Foothill Blvd. and Alder Ave. turn left and head west. Ahead is a classic motel.

Fontana Inn motel nowadays. Source

Inverso Motel

On the next block, to your right, at 15706 Foothill is the Fontana Inn; you can book your room here because it is still open and catering to travelers under the name Fontana Inn. In the 1950s it was the Inverso Motel, by the 1970s it had become the Arrow Motel, it appears in a 1948 aerial photo of the spot. It has separate gable roof buildings with 3 units each, on each side of a courtyard with the office in the back. Route 66 Mural on one of the units. Pictured above; see St. view.

Former Gas Station

Next to the motel is a former gas station that has stood there at least since 1938, as it appears in an aerial photograph taken that year. The flat canopy with curved tips still stands over the empty pumps island at 15690 Foothill. During the late 1950s and the 1960s, it was a realtor's office and now sells and repairs lawnmowers (St. view).

Pacific Electric

The highway passes under the "Pacific Electric" railroad tracks using an underpass built in 1931 to replace a grade crossing.
A bicycle trail now runs along the tracks of the former Pacific Electric Railway Company. It was known as the "Red Cars" and was a system of electric streetcars and buses that linked Los Angeles with its suburbs. Along Route 66 it reached San Bernardino. It was the largest electric railway system in the world in the 1920s. As cars became popular, it lost customers. It declined gradually, closing lines and ceased operating in 1964.

Arky's Barbecue (gone)

After the underpass, on the south side (left) of the highway was Mr. Arky's Barbecue, owned and operated by Hazel and Milton Blair aka Arky, from 1947 to 1958 famous for its barbecued meats; among its regular customers were Bing Crosby, Jack Benny, and Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. Later it became an adult bookstore. It had an animated neon sign with a pig that walked and twirled a baton. They served pies and ice cream for dessert and breakfast was donuts and coffee. Their postcard stated "Doggone your buttons. I'm glad you got this card. Now you know where you've been, but I don't know where you're going." ²

Bono's Restaurant and Deli

Listed in the National Register of Historic Places

Just ahead, on the left side of the highway, at the intersection with Sultana Ave. (15395 Foothill Blvd), to your left is a one-story building built in 1936 and expanded in 1943. It housed an Italian restaurant and Deli, which originally sold orange juice, olives, wine, and Italian foods (pizza, pasta) and fruits.

James Bono, who was born in Sicily, Italy, in 1898, moved to America with his family. He arrived in Fontana in 1926 and created Bono's Market which he ran with his wife Frances for 43 years.

Bono's "Hobby Nobby"

The north wall had a verandah opened towards Route 66 converting the building into an open outdoor market. In 1943 the font was glazed-in and the building was expanded to become a restaurant. Below is a view of it in the late 1990s. Notice how close it is to the highway and the lack of curbs.

Bono's Deli nowadays. Click for St. view

The restaurant closed in 1994 and Joseph "Joe" Bono passed away in 2020. It had reopened in 2018 asa an Italian restaurant and used the Bono name but it didn't survive the Covid lockdown, closing in 2021. It has been purchased again and will be a Mexican Restaurant. The picture shows its current appearance.

Giant Orange (moved)

The Giant Orange fruit stand at Bono's

There was a large fruit juice stand on the western side of Bono's property, shaped like a gigantic orange. But it wasn't always located here. It didn't even belong to Bono.
It was built by Bob DeVries in 1936. His father Loomis P. DeVries opened the first orange juice stand in Fontana, on Foothill and Locust. His son later built the Giant Orange (6.5 ft. - 2 m. tall) with a wood framework covered with stucco. His fruit stand was located three miles to the east of Bono's. Its bright orange color caught potential customers' eyes from afar. His son, Bob Jr. recalled that there was always four or five cars parked by it buying produce. They sold oranges at 50 cents a box, and orange juice "all you can drink for a dime." Carl Hoppy, Bob Jr.'s uncle ran it in the 1950s.
Later it was moved to the local Walmart on Route 66. In 1985 the DeVries family donated it to the Fontana Historic Society. Joe Bono, as president of the Society arranged for it to be loaned to his restaurant and he painted his name on it. The orange stood on Bono's land for 35 years. It suffered from weathering and time, slowly deteriorating. After the death of Bono and the sale of his restauant, the Fontana Historical Society stored the orange and is restoring it. It should be placed on display in downtown Fontana. ^{3, 4}

Certo's Texaco

Across the highway, almost on the NE corner of Foothill with Beech, at what in those days was 880 W Foothill and now is 15320 Foothill Blvd, stood the Wetward-Ho Motel. Its postcard below, posted in 1957 tells us it had a Home-Like Atmosphere - 2 Acres of Park," it can be seen in the 1938 aerial photo of the area.
Now all that remains is the driveway around the oval shaped central garden in the courtyard and some palm trees (St view).

Now come three motels very close to one another.

Sunset Motel

To your left, at 15243 Foothill Blvd is the Sunset Motel; it appears in the 1948 aerial photograph of this spot. In 1959 it was owned by J.C. Douglas and had 11 units, 9 with kitchen. In 1962 it was auctioned (with 14 rooms and a beer parlor in a separate property). Still open; pictured below.

Road House, Fontana. Credits

Further west at 14564 Foothill, where the express carwash is located, was the now gone "Road House, Route 66, Fontana, California" photographed by John Margolies in 1977, pictured. See it before it was razed in this 2007 street view.

Somewhere around here, the 1948-51 Ontario phone directory lists a "Motel Casa Redondo Fine New Units - Best Beds - Low Rates 1859 W Foothill Bl Fontana," but we have not been able to find any other reference that would allow us to locate it, though we believe it is the complex that appears in this street view as it appears in the 1953 USGS map and aerial photos after 1948.
