Emergency Crime Scene and Biohazard Cleanup in Muscoy, CA

Muscoy is an unincorporated census-designated place in San Bernardino County's Inland Empire, just northwest of the city of San Bernardino.

Muscoy was laid out in the mid-1890s as a community of small family farms, with roads and water service built for parcels of one to ten acres planted with vineyards, orchards and field crops.

After World War II, Muscoy gradually shifted from agriculture toward suburban homes, and shops opened in the 1950s and 1960s to serve travelers passing through the growing San Bernardino area.

In 1989, a gasoline pipeline explosion tore through part of Muscoy, causing loss of life and heavy damage in the community.

Muscoy had a population of 10,719 at the 2020 census, little changed from 10,644 in 2010.

Muscoy's roughly 2,436 households average about 4.78 people each, an unusually large household size.

Much of Muscoy lies in the county's Additional Agriculture overlay, so residents keep horses and other livestock on large lots, and equestrians sharing the roadways with cars are a distinctive feature of daily life.

Muscoy covers only about 3.1 square miles and shares ZIP code 92407 with the Verdemont, Devore Heights and Arrowhead Farms neighborhoods of northwestern San Bernardino.

Local children attend Muscoy Elementary and Vermont Elementary schools in the San Bernardino City Unified School District.

As an unincorporated community, Muscoy has no city government; a county-appointed Muscoy Municipal Advisory Council represents residents before the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors.
