The City of Chino is a thriving community located in the west end of San Bernardino County, bordered by Los Angeles, Orange, and Riverside Counties. Chino is centrally located and within a 60-minute drive to the ocean, mountains, and the desert. Founded in 1887 and incorporated in 1910, it began as an agricultural and dairy community and has evolved into a well-balanced community of approximately 81,000 residents. Chino has been recognized as “100 Best Communities for Young People” for the past five years by America’s Promise Alliance. This five-time“100 Best” designation recognizes our community for the extraordinary efforts we make to reduce high school dropout rates and provide outstanding services and support for our youth. The City’s motto, “Where Everything Grows,” originally referred to the community’s agricultural beginnings. Today, the motto applies to growth in families, business and the strong sense of community. New businesses are attracted to Chino, as the community offers modern facilities, reasonable lease rates, competitive labor costs, and un-congested access to logistic centers, such as Ontario International Airport. The City of Chino is dedicated to accommodating this growth in population, while continuing to provide the high level of service that is unsurpassed in the Inland Empire. As the City looks to an exciting future, Chino will encourage balanced growth and will continue to celebrate its cultural heritage and hometown atmosphere.
