About Fontana, California: Citrus, Steel and Foothill Boulevard

According to the Fontana Route 66 guide, Azariel Blanchard Miller's company renamed the Rosena townsite Fontana in 1913, and the town prospered as a fruit colony of citrus groves. Route 66 was designated in 1926 along the older National Old Trails alignment, which is now Foothill Boulevard. Wikipedia records Fontana's incorporation as a city on June 25, 1952. It also lists "City of Action" as the city's motto.

World War II changed the town. San Bernardino County history says Henry J. Kaiser established Kaiser Steel in Fontana in 1942 and opened a 50-bed hospital for mill workers and their families in 1943. Kaiser closed its mills in the 1980s, and part of the old site still makes steel.

Foothill Boulevard still holds Route 66 landmarks. Bono's Restaurant and Deli at 15395 Foothill Boulevard began as a roadside produce stand in July 1936 and expanded in 1943 into an Italian restaurant and deli. A giant orange juice stand built in 1936 later stood on the Bono's property, and the California Historic Route 66 Association points travelers to nearby motels and the restored Art Deco theater downtown.
