Fact text

  • The Jack Benny Program made 'Cucamonga' a household punchline, turning the city's wonderfully weird name into a national joke.
  • The city's official seal features a cluster of grapes, a nod to its winemaking roots, Rancho Cucamonga was home to California's very first winery.
  • Bears occasionally wander through the city from the nearby San Gabriel Mountains, which is either charming or terrifying depending on your morning commute.
  • Rancho Cucamonga enjoys 287 sunny days per year, nearly 100 more than the national average, so dust off that patio furniture.
  • The name 'Cucamonga' comes from a Tongva word meaning 'sandy place,' which honestly sounds much cooler in the original.
