Chino, Suburban municipality in San Bernardino County, United States
Chino is a municipality in the western part of San Bernardino County, California, with residential neighborhoods, commercial areas, and flat terrain. The area connects several neighboring counties and sits between freeways running through Southern California.
The area belonged to Rancho Santa Ana del Chino, a Spanish land grant from the colonial period. The town was officially incorporated on February 28, 1910, and later grew into a dairy farming center.
The name comes from the Spanish word for curly hair, referring to the wavy grasses that once covered the region. Today, many families of Latin American and Asian heritage live in the residential neighborhoods and shopping centers that line the wide streets.
Driving through the municipality, you'll find shopping centers, restaurants, and gas stations along the main roads. Most public facilities sit near major intersections with wide parking lots for visitors.
Dutch immigrant families operated numerous dairy farms here between the 1950s and 1980s, making the area California's largest milk producer. Many of these agricultural plots later transformed into residential developments and warehouses.
