| About Fontana
- Fontana is a city located in San Bernardino County,
California. Originally a sleepy, dusty town of citrus
orchards and cattle ranches astride Route 66 and numerous
rail lines, Fontana was radically transformed during
World War II by the construction of a steel mill belonging
to the Henry J. Kaiser Company and the routing of the
San Bernardino Freeway through a section of the town.
Explosive growth soon followed, with the area becoming
a prominent industrial exurb of Los Angeles. Its working-class
orientation, and a population of largely rural Southern
and Midwestern origins, led to the city receiving the
derisive nickname "Fontucky." This reputation
for provincialism was not aided by the rise to prominence
of the Hells Angels motorcycle gang, which had originally
formed in Fontana.
