Self Storage – Rancho Cucamonga

Rancho Cucamonga is a Top Destination for Families and Businesses in SoCal  

At the base of the towering San Gabriel Mountains is Rancho Cucamonga — a Southern California city of more than 177,000 people, 35 miles from Los Angeles. Close to Highway 210 and Interstate 10, as well as Ontario International Airport, Rancho Cucamonga is a desirable location for entrepreneurs and businesses. In fact, prominent companies like Coca-Cola and Frito Lay have established facilities here. The city’s largest employers include Inland Empire Health Plan, the Etiwanda School District and Chaffey Community College.

The Indigenous Tongva people moved into the area that is now considered Rancho Cucamonga in 1200 AD. The Spanish colonized the area (Rancho Cucamonga was included in the widespread Mission system) and eventually passed it to Mexican governor Juan Baptista Alvarado. After that, John Rains and his wife established the modern city in 1858. Today, you can visit the John Rains Historical House, which is on the National Register of Historic Places, to learn interesting facts about the city’s history. For example, did you know the area was the state’s top wine-producing region during the 19^th century?

Rancho Cucamonga has also earned a reputation for its high-performing school districts, family-friendly neighborhoods and vibrant local community. Moreover, there is plenty of year-round activity, including outdoor recreation and cultural events.

Major landmarks include the popular Victory Gardens shopping plaza, the Loanmart Field — home to the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes minor league baseball team — and the North Etiwanda Nature Preserve. Publications like Insiderand Money Magazines have included Rancho Cucamonga on lists of top places to live.

Things to Do in Rancho Cucamonga, CA

Victoria Gardens is the center of much of the activity in Rancho Cucamonga. Designed to be the city’s downtown, Victoria Gardens is more than 140 acres of shopping, dining and entertainment. In addition, the plaza includes office space, 500 residential units and a cultural center. Throughout the year, it hosts numerous events, including a Christmas tree lighting and farmer’s markets. You’ll want to check out the Lewis Family Playhouse, a state-of-the-art performing arts center, for a variety of live events from comedy to theater and concerts.

Only 15 minutes from Victoria Gardens is the Cucamonga Service Station, which should also make your list of must-see stops. This restored 1915 gas station along historic Route 66, with an unmissable bright yellow exterior, takes visitors back in time. You can examine vintage memorabilia like early-1900s gas pump replicas and even a pack of gum from the station’s heyday.

Want to get outside and enjoy southern California’s incredible weather? The Pacific Electric Inland Empire Trail, which offers scenic views and connects to many of the city’s parks, is ideal for a walk or leisurely bike ride. Following the same path as the old Pacific Electric Railway, at Etiwanda Avenue the trail passes one of the last remaining San Bernardino Line railway depots.

Families also love the Cucamonga-Gausti Regional Park, especially during the warmer summer months. Across 150 acres, you’ll find two lakes for fishing and boating, an outdoor swimming complex (with splash pads and water slides) and plenty of shade for picnicking. Don’t be surprised if the park is a little more crowded during sunny weekends —get there early to snag a good spot.
