Ontario, California is located in San Bernardino County, near Interstate 10, the Pomona Freeway, and State Route 83.

Ontario was once known as a health resort, and was later settled by citrus farmers because of its rocky soil. Wine grapes and olives are grown in Ontario, and dairy farming is also prevalent.

The top five employers in Ontario are:
  • Sunkist Growers (orange production)
