For the past 50 years, the most intensive dairying in California has
centered in the Chino Valley. At one time, the valley was home
to more than 400 dairies and 400,000 cows. The local dairy,
agriculture, and ranching industry played a vital role in establishing
the Chino Valley's foundation, which later became the leading dairy
area in the United States.

San Gabriel Mountains and rolling hills, has enticed thousands to
move to the Chino Valley, where residents enjoy a more open,
relaxed, rural, and scenic environment. Encompassing nearly 31 miles, Chino
is home to over 232 acres of dedicated park space, providing residents with
community and neighborhood parks, trails and facilities, along with a host
of recreational opportunities.
