The Story of Fontana
Fontana was once known for steel. Kaiser Steel put it on the map during World War II, and for decades the mill was the economic center of the city and a symbol of blue-collar strength.
When the steel industry left, Fontana reinvented itself. Warehouses and logistics moved in, families from across Southern California discovered affordable housing, and the city began growing faster than almost anywhere in the IE.
Today, Fontana is a blend of old-timers who remember the mill and newcomers building a life. It's a city of driveways, youth sports leagues, and weekend cookouts.
