More than the region's gateway, the West End lures visitors with well known Southern California attractions.

The city of Montclair has a history as rich as that of any other West End city. The earliest inhabitants of the land that is now Montclair were the Serrano Indians. The Serrano Indians built their village on the banks of a sycamore tree-lined creek which followed what is now Mills Avenue.

Montclair Plaza, built in 1968, is the shopping anchor of Montclair, housing 200 stores and boutiques. Newly redesigned in 2008, the mall houses shops such as Nordstrom, Macy’s, Sephora, Coach, H&M and Swarovski.

Traveling south to Chino, glimpse Old California while visiting the Yorba and Slaughter Families Adobe, built in 1852-53, one of the oldest standing adobe residences in San Bernardino County.

Chino’s rich agricultural history dates back to the Spanish land grant forming Rancho Santa Ana del Chino. The area specialized in orchard and row crops and was the number one dairy area in the United States. The city’s motto, “Where Everything Grows” originally referred to this agricultural beginning. Today it applies to growth in families, business and the strong sense of community.

Chino Airport (CNO), formerly known as Cal Aero Field, is rich with history; rooted back to the early 1940s when the airport was home to the Cal Aero Cadets. The Airport has transformed from a training facility for the war effort into a major economic engine for the Southern California region.
