City

San Bernardino, California

Northern America

San Bernardino is the county seat of San Bernardino County in Southern California, set in the San Bernardino Valley within the Inland Empire. It has more than 220,000 residents and ranks among the most populous cities in the state. The name dates to 1810, when a Spanish priest led an expedition through the valley, and the area passed through a Mexican land grant before Mormon settlers founded the town in 1851 and it was incorporated as a city in 1854. It grew in the late nineteenth century as a commercial hub between Southern California and the American Southwest, and today it is home to California State University, San Bernardino. McDonald's was founded in the city in 1940.
