History of Ontario

Ontario has a history stretching back to the 19th century. It was founded as a model colony in 1882 by George Chaffey and William Chaffey, Canadian brothers who purchased the land in order to create an agricultural community. They laid out roads, water works, and named the settlement after Ontario, Canada, their home province.

The city grew primarily as an agricultural community supplying citrus crops until the post-World War II era. The opening of Ontario International Airport in the 1950s led to a development boom. Major suburban residential and commercial development took off in the following decades, turning Ontario into a bedroom community for Los Angeles and the center of a rapidly urbanizing region.
