Rialto is a city in San Bernardino County, California, United States, 56 miles east of Los Angeles. The city is located strategically near the Cajon Pass, Interstate 15, Interstate 10, and Metrolink (California) routes.

The population was 99,171 as of the 2010 Census.[11] The city population and economic activity has grown exponentially in recent years due to the building of major distribution centers in the region.

It was formerly home to the US Army Rialto Ammunition Storage point which was used during World War II to support operations in the Pacific theater.[12] This area is now a Superfund Site that is scheduled to begin remediation in 2020.[13]

Rialto is home to major regional distribution centers: Staples Inc., which serves stores across the entire West Coast of the United States, Amazon (company), Under Armour, Medline Industries, Niagara Bottling, Monster Energy and Target in the northern region of the city, in the Las Colinas community. One of the United States' largest fireworks companies, Pyro Spectaculars, is also headquartered in Rialto.

Climate

Rialto, also known as "Bridge City," features a somewhat cooler version of a Mediterranean climate, which is known for wet, cool to chilly winters with hot, dry summers.

The particularly arid climate during the summer prevents tropospheric clouds from forming, meaning temperatures rise to what is considered Class Orange by NOAA. Rialto gets an average of 16 inches (410 mm) of rain, and maybe hail most of this rainfall precipitates in winter. During winter, Rialto's northernmost neighborhood gets snow, heavily at times as a result of its elevation of about 3,000 feet (910 m) above sea level. However, most of the city is out of snowfall's path.

The seasonal Santa Ana winds are felt particularly strongly in not only Rialto but the greater San Bernardino area as warm and dry air is channeled through nearby Cajon Pass at times during the autumn months. This phenomenon markedly increases the wildfire danger in the foothill, canyon, and mountain communities that the cycle of cold, wet winters and dry summers helps create.

Geography

Rialto is located at 34°6′41″N 117°22′57″W / 34.11139°N 117.38250°W / 34.11139; -117.38250 (34.111360, −117.382403).[14]

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 22.4 square miles (58 km2). 22.4 square miles (58 km2) of it is land and 0.06% is water.

Transportation

The City of Rialto is situated between Interstate 10 and State Route 210. According to statistics approximately 55% of the working class in the city of Rialto commute more than 10 miles (16 km) to get to work and almost 13% travel to and from Los Angeles and San Bernardino. Average commute times from Rialto are between 33.6 and 37.6 minutes.[19]

Rialto is served by the Metrolink regional rail service on the Metrolink San Bernardino Line at Rialto station. The San Bernardino Line takes approximately one hour and twenty minutes to commute each way to Los Angeles[20] and ten minutes to San Bernardino.[21] The same trip by car via the 10 or 210 freeways takes between 45 minutes to 2 hours, depending on traffic.

History

The 1907 First Christian Church, now the Rialto Historical Society

Ancient artifacts discovered by archaeologists suggest that what is now the city of Rialto was settled prior to 1500.[22] Such artifacts, now found at the Rialto Historical Society, indicate that the Serrano Indians lived in the Rialto area between 1500 and 1800 AD.[23] There is no evidence to explain what happened to these Native Americans.[23]

An adobe building from the early 19th century, which has been used for many purposes over the years, is the oldest building still standing in Rialto and stands restored near Bud Bender Park, formerly known as "Lilac Park" on Second Street and Riverside Avenue.[24] The City of Rialto leases the house and a small portion of park land to the Rialto Historical Society for $1 annually.

In 1842, the Lugo family was granted the Rancho San Bernardino—a holding of 37,700 acres—which encompassed Rialto.[25] In 1851, the Mountain Family[citation needed] purchased part of the Lugo family's Rancho San Bernardino,[25] and claimed several other portions of the ranch which later became known as Rialto. This claim was later amended by the United States Government, permitting them a smaller fraction of the initial purchase.[26]

In 1887 a railroad connector line was built between San Bernardino and Pasadena by the Santa Fe Railroad.[22] Along the line, townsites were located every 2,600 yards (2,400 m) [mile and a half] and by the fall of that year over 25 new towns were being built. This same year the Semitropic Land and Water Company was formed to organize the purchase and selling of real estate, water, and water rights and privileges.[22]

In the fall of 1888, the first school was built and Brooke School District was formed.[27] Records show[citation needed] that up until 1920, the Brooke School District was in continuous operation, except for a very short time in 1888. The prominent Rialto Trapp family bought the first school house in 1921, remodeled the building, and members of the family resided in it until it was destroyed by fire. The Rialto School District (today Rialto Unified School District), was formed in 1891. The staff consisted of two teachers and a principal with separate play areas for the boys and girls.

In 1901 a cemetery was established in the township.[28] It is administered by the City Treasurer.[29]

Historic Pacific Electric depot, now a restaurant

The Chamber of Commerce was established in 1907.[22] The Chamber incorporated in the spring of 1911.[22] By 1911 the population had grown to 1,500 with 40 businesses and a local newspaper. The election results on October 31 of the same year were 135 votes for the incorporation of the city and 72 against.[22]

Foothill Boulevard was repaired in 1913 and became U.S. Route 66, a section of the U.S. highway system.[22] In 1914 Los Angeles' Pacific Electric Railway completed its San Bernardino Line through the City of Rialto, with a junction at Riverside Avenue for the Riverside Line. Today the Tracks above First Street are a part of the Union Pacific and the Pacific Electric depot on Riverside Avenue is Cuca's Restaurant.[24]

A fire in the 1920s swept through and destroyed many of the buildings in the downtown area.[22]

Rialto's population growth had increased to 3,156 by 1950. In 1956 the population soared to 15,359. By 1964 it showed increase to 23,290 and 33,500 in 1978. Rialto is 4 miles (6.4 km) wide and 8.5 miles (13.7 km) long. Rialto's population grew from 80,000 in 1994 to nearly 100,000 by 2010.

The winner was Northridge City Little League who went on to play in the Little League World Series in South Williamsport, Pennsylvania. The Tournament was held at Lilac Park, now known as Bud Bender Park.

Environmental Concerns

Fireworks, Rockets, and Flares Superfund Site

In the late 1990s, local water officials discovered perchlorate contamination in the city's drinking water supply that contained as much as 800 times the recommended limit according to safety recommendations issued in other states.[32] The 160 acre site was known formerly as the US Army Rialto Ammunition Back-Up Storage Point in use during World War II.[13] At the conclusion of the war, it was sold to defense contractors and fireworks manufacturers that handles perchlorate salts and hazardous materials that contaminated the groundwater.[13]

The contaminant, which has seeped into several of the town's drinking water wells, is the subject of lawsuits by the city of Rialto against 42 parties, including Goodrich Corporation and Black & Decker, the US Department of Defense, and the San Bernardino County.[33] Studies have shown that perchlorate consumption, at the levels measured in the affected wells, can lead to medical issues.[34] Perchlorate exposure can harm iodine uptake into the thyroid.[34]

To help remediate the groundwater, the EPA designed a groundwater pump and treat system for to remove and clean contaminated water leaking from the 160 acre region known as the "Source Area Operable Unit.[13] The pumping station was designed between 2013 and 2014 with construction beginning on 2015 with estimated completion in 2020.[13]

Between 2012 and 2013, the EPA negotiated several settlements between the Department of Defense, corporations, and cities. On October 10, 2012 Pyro Spectaculars Inc. agreed to pay $4.3 million to the EPA and $1.3 million to Rialto, Colton, and San Bernardino.[35] Shortly after, another settlement was agreed upon on December 4, 2012 between the EPA, Emhart, DOD, and other defendants agreed to $43 million over 30 years to cleanup contaminated groundwater in the site. The defendants included Emhart Industries, Inc., Black & Decker Inc., the U.S. Department of Defense, American Promotional Events, Inc., The Ensign-Bickford Company, Raytheon, Whittaker Corporation, Broco, Inc., and J. S. Brower & Associates, Inc.[36] On March 26, 2013, a settlement was reached between B.F. Goodrich Corporation and KTI Incorporated. The Goodrich settlement allowed for the investigation and clean up of contaminated soil in the area. The KTI settlement involved the cleanup of the site.[35] On January 31, 2014, the EPA reached an additional $11 million dollar settlement with the now defunct Pyrotronics company and the B.F. Goodrich Superfund Site was renamed into the Rockets, Fireworks, and Flares Superfund Site. This settlement will be used to fund comprehensive cleanup efforts which now total $100 million dollars.[37] The pumping station is estimated to begin treating contaminated water between 2020 and 2021.[13]

PEG station

Rialto Network is a public, educational, and government access (PEG) cable television station based in Rialto. The station was created in 1991 as KRTO (KRialTO) and in 2012 the station was renamed Rialto Network. Rialto Network is located in the Civic Center and the station is cablecast daily on Spectrum Cable cable system on Channels 3, and on AT&T U-verse PEG cable TV channel 99. It is also webcast.[38]

In the news

School assignment debating Holocaust denial

In April 2014, the Rialto school district came under fire for homework assigned to about 2,000 8th graders  — a "critical thinking" writing assignment which asked them to take a position whether the Holocaust occurred, and to defend that position citing published arguments, including rebuttals to the selected arguments.[39] Although the school system initially defended the December 2013 assignment, which had already been completed and graded by the time the media published the story, the board of the school district formally apologized for what its chairman called the "horribly inappropriate assignment".[40][41]

2005 recall election

On September 13, 2005, the Rialto city council voted to dissolve the Rialto Police Department and replace it with a contract with the San Bernardino County sheriff's department. Soon after the vote, a San Bernardino County court issued an injunction on the change because the vote was done in secret.[citation needed] As a result, two city council members, Ed Scott and Winfred Lee Hansen, were up for recall.[42] In March 2006, city leaders decided to keep the Police Department.[43]

Movie industry

State Route 210 between Alder and Linden Avenues has been filmed for movies and TV.

The movie Transformers, 2007 Fox television show, Drive, the freeway scenes in The Hangover, Due Date, and several commercials by UPS and car companies have been shot there.

The television show Fear Factor used a portion of the then-incomplete 210 freeway in Rialto for a stunt.

For example, some people claim the Holocaust is not an actual historical event, but instead is a propaganda tool that was used for political and monetary gain. Based upon your research on this issue, write an argumentative essay, utilizing cited textual evidence, in which you explain whether or not you believe the Holocaust was an actual event in history, or merely a political scheme created to influence public emotion and gain. Remember to address counterclaims (rebuttals) to your stated claim. You are also required to use parenthetical (internal) citations and to provide a Works Cited page.'
