Fun Facts: Upland, California

  • Upland was once part of adjacent Ontario and briefly called Magnolia—named after a hotel that made a big splash back in 1887. In 1906, locals voted loud and clear to make Upland its own city—in a major landslide with 183 for, 19 against.
  • While famous for juicy citrus groves (including oranges and lemons), Upland also grew peaches, pears, apples, cherries, and even grapes in vineyards. The Cooper Regional History Museum is the perfect spot to dive into the city’s sweet history, housed in an old fruit exchange building.
  • Upland’s annual Lemon Festival squeezes tons of fun into picturesque downtown Upland – featuring food, music, and family activities galore.
