Rancho Cucamonga: Route 66, Wine Heritage, and the San Gabriel Foothills
Rancho Cucamonga spreads across nearly 40 square miles at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains in western San Bernardino County, incorporating in 1977 from the merger of Alta Loma, Cucamonga, and Etiwanda. Vines were planted in Cucamonga as early as 1839, making it one of the oldest winegrowing regions in California. The Joseph Filippi Winery, established in 1922 and still operating, preserves much of that heritage. Most of the valley's vineyards were cleared during suburban development from the 1950s through the 1990s.
Historic Route 66, now preserved locally as Foothill Boulevard, runs through the city. Markers along the route, along with restored mid-century motels and the Cucamonga Service Station (restored as a museum), commemorate the corridor's decades as a primary east-west highway before Interstate 40 replaced it. Victoria Gardens, an open-air lifestyle center that opened in 2004, functions as the city's commercial and civic core, with retail anchors, restaurants, a performing arts center (Lewis Family Playhouse), and the Cultural Center library.
Chaffey College, the oldest community college west of the Rocky Mountains still in its original location, traces its origins to 1883 and maintains its main campus in the city. The Epicenter, a minor-league baseball stadium, hosts the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes of the California League, a High-A affiliate of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Housing development from the 1990s through the 2010s transformed most of the remaining ranch and vineyard land into planned subdivisions.
