About Fontana
Fontana is nestled in San Bernardino County in sunny California and was founded in 1913, although it didn’t really start to develop until after the Second World War. The town boomed as a result of the steel mill that was built here by one of its founders, Henry J. Kaiser, and from there it grew into the regional center that it is today.
If you come for a visit to Fontana now, you will find that it is covered in historical buildings such as period homes and theaters, but you will also find modern exciting touches like the Auto Club Speedway, which is most notable for sitting on the site of the original Kaiser Steel Mill where it all started.
