Fun Facts: Fontana, California

  • The city’s transformation began during World War II, when Henry J. Kaiser’s steel mill (which built steel plates for military ships) became a major employer, driving the area’s industrial identity. Kaiser also established a hospital for the Fontana Steel Mill’s workers, from which sprang the now-massive Kaiser Permanente hospital chain and healthcare plan.
  • The arrival of the San Bernardino Freeway opened new pathways for Fontana’s suburban growth and connection to the rest of Southern California.
