About San Dimas, California: Where Cowboy Culture Meets the Mother Road

The History of San Dimas
The history of San Dimas stretches back to the 1830s, rooted in the Rancho San Jose land grant. With the formal establishment of U.S. Route 66 in 1926, the town's strategic location transformed it into a bustling and indispensable stop for motorists. During its peak in the 1940s and 1950s, the city provided a comprehensive array of amenities that defined the classic American road trip. Travelers found comfortable motels, inviting diners and other various shops, offering much-needed respite and supplies on their long journeys. The presence of its distinctive Western culture, even amidst the rise of automobile travel, offered a unique flavor to the Route 66 experience.
The San Dimas Western Days Rodeo
The annual San Dimas Western Days Rodeo is the heart of the city's celebration of its cowboy heritage. This long-standing tradition, featuring thrilling rodeo events, parades, and community festivities, attracts participants and spectators from across the region and beyond, keeping the spirit of the Old West alive and well. It serves as a powerful reminder of the ranching and equestrian traditions that predate and coexisted with the era of the automobile.
Bill and Ted Went to High School Here
Beyond its Western roots, San Dimas is globally recognized as the hometown of Bill S. Preston, Esquire, and Ted "Theodore" Logan from the iconic 1989 film "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure."
While most of the movie was actually filmed in Arizona, the city of San Dimas became a pop culture touchstone, forever associated with the time-traveling, air guitar-playing duo. For fans of the movie, visiting San Dimas is a pilgrimage to the fictional home of two of cinema's most beloved slackers, adding a fun and quirky modern layer to the city's rich history.
