City of Rancho Cucamonga
Rancho Cucamonga is a city in San Bernardino County,
California, United States. As of the 2000 census, the city had a
total population of 127,743, but a 2009 estimate by the state of
California put the city's population at 177,736 people. In 2006,
Money magazine ranked Rancho Cucamonga as the 42nd-best place to
live in the United States.
The city was incorporated in 1977, as a result of a merger among
the unincorporated communities of Alta Loma, Cucamonga, and Etiwanda.
While most of the city's land area is devoted to residential
areas, Rancho Cucamonga, like its neighbors Ontario and Fontana,
is a major center for the Logistics industry in Southern California.
This is due to its proximity to two Interstate Highways and Ontario
International Airport, and the space afforded by the large tracts
of former agricultural land in the southern section of the city.
In the area around Milliken Avenue, between Archibald and Etiwanda
Avenues, Foothill Boulevard, and Fourth Street, about seven square
miles of land are primarily occupied by numerous massive distribution
centers, and even more, smaller manufacturing companies. This
area is ringed by wealthy office parks, mostly along Haven Avenue,
and shopping strips, such as the Terra Vista Town Center (part
of a nearly two-square-mile master-planned community in the center
of the city), and malls, such as the Ontario Mills, across Fourth
Street in Ontario. The city is also home to Tamco Steel, which
runs the only steel mini-mill in California. This mill recycles
ferrous scrap, such as junked cars and appliances, to produce
rebar.
The city is also the location of The Epicenter, a minor-league
baseball stadium, home of the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes. The Quakes'
mascot, Tremor, is a"Rallysaurus" . A firework show
is held after every saturday game.
