About Upland, California
Upland is the westernmost city located along Route 66 in San Bernardino County in southern California. It is located at the foot of the highest part of the San Gabriel Mountains. As of the 2010 census, the city had a population of 73,732.
The present-day City of Upland was originally the northern part of Chaffey’s Ontario Model Colony, and was known as “North Upland” or “Magnolia” after a local hotel. The name Upland was first used as the name of the “Upland Citrus Association.” However, by 1902, the name “Upland” was used to refer to the entire area of North Ontario, and the City of Upland, itself, was officially incorporated on May 15, 1906. The citrus industry in Upland and the surrounding region continued to thrive, and by the 1930s, citrus had become the dominant agricultural crop in California. At the height of citrus production, the industry produced sixty percent of the nation’s citrus supply and twenty percent of the world’s supply. This success continued for citrus growers until the mid-1940s, when the citrus industry, as a whole, began its decline.
Upland maintains many of its old features, most specifically Euclid Avenue (the north-south, tree-lined street that runs through town) as well as many of the older, adobe and ranch-style houses.
The City is home to Cable Airport, the world’s largest family-owned, public use, general aviation airport. Upland also has the rare 1950’s McDonald’s “Golden Arches” building, the historic Madonna of the Trail statue and the 1940’s Grove Theater.
