Discreet 24/7 Biohazard Remediation in Upland, CA

Upland sits at an elevation of 1,242 feet at the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains, in San Bernardino County's Inland Empire.

Upland began as North Ontario, the northern half of George and William Chaffey's Ontario Model Colony, an irrigation colony founded in 1882 on more than 8,000 acres of the old Cucamonga Rancho.

The Chaffeys built Euclid Avenue as a grand seven-mile thoroughfare through the colony, and its wide, tree-lined landscaped median remains Upland's signature street, listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The settlement was renamed Upland in 1902 after the Upland Citrus Association, and voters approved incorporation on May 5, 1906, by a vote of 183 to 19; the city incorporated on May 15, 1906.

The 2020 census counted 79,040 residents in Upland, up from 73,732 in 2010, and Census estimates put the city at about 27,400 households.

Upland was built on citrus and grapes: by 1889 some 2,000 acres of citrus had been planted, and the colony had the second-largest citrus acreage in California.

The Santa Fe Railway reached Upland in 1887, turning the town into a major fruit-shipping point.

Historic Route 66 runs through Upland along Foothill Boulevard.

At the corner of Euclid Avenue and Foothill Boulevard stands Upland's Madonna of the Trail, dedicated on February 1, 1929: the westernmost of the twelve identical statues honoring pioneer mothers placed across the United States, it is California Historical Landmark No. 1028 and marks the spot where Jedediah Smith's party crossed in 1826 as the first Americans to enter California overland.

The Cooper Regional History Museum, which tells the story of the area's citrus era, occupies the 1937 Art Moderne former Ontario-Cucamonga Fruit Exchange building in downtown Upland.
