About Ontario, California

Ontario is a city in southwestern San Bernardino County, California. Located in the western part of the Inland Empire metropolitan area, it lies just east of Los Angeles County and is part of the Greater Los Angeles Area. As of the 2010 Census, the city had a population of 163,924, making it the county’s fourth most populous city.

Named for the province of Ontario in Canada, it was settled in 1882 by George and William Chaffey, who irrigated the land for citrus and vineyard cultivation and established a model agricultural community. After the arrival of the Santa Fe Railway in 1887, Ontario became a fruit-processing and shipping point; it remains an important regional distribution center. The city’s industries manufacture electrical appliances, aircraft parts, steel, and plastics. An aggressive program of annexation in the 1990s increased Ontario’s size to 50 square miles (130 square km), making it the largest city in San Bernardino county and the focus of much of the area’s economic and demographic growth.

The City is home to the Ontario International Airport, which is the 15th-busiest airport in the United States by cargo carried. Ontario handles the mass of freight traffic between the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach and the rest of the country.
