'''Chino''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|tʃ|iː|n|əʊ}} {{respell|CHEE|noh}}; [[Spanish language|Spanish]] for "Curly"){{r|CN 1019-07-06}} is a city in the western end of [[San Bernardino County, California]], United States, with [[Los Angeles County]] to its west and [[Orange County, California|Orange County]] to its south in the Southern California region.

Chino's surroundings have long been a center of agriculture and [[dairy farming]], providing milk products in [[Southern California]] and much of the southwestern United States. Chino's agricultural history dates back to the Spanish land grant forming [[Rancho Santa Ana del Chino]]. The area specialized in fruit orchards, row crops, and dairy.

Chino is bounded by [[Chino Hills, California|Chino Hills]] and Los Angeles County to the west, Pomona to the northwest, unincorporated [[San Bernardino County, California|San Bernardino County]] (near [[Montclair, California|Montclair]]) to the north, including the unincorporated community of [[Narod, California|Narod]], [[Ontario, California|Ontario]] to the northeast, Eastvale to the southeast in [[Riverside County, California|Riverside County]] and [[Orange County, California|Orange County]] to the southwest. It is easily accessible via the [[California State Route 71|Chino Valley]] (71) and [[California State Route 60|Pomona]] (60) freeways. The population was 91,403 at the 2020 census.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://data.census.gov/profile/Chino_city,_California?g=160XX00US0613210|title=Geography Profile - Chino city, California|publisher=Census.gov|access-date=January 7, 2024}}</ref>

==Etymology==
The land grant on which the town was founded was called [[Rancho Santa Ana del Chino]]. ''Santa Ana'' is [[Spanish language|Spanish]] for [[Saint Anne]], but the exact meaning of "Chino" has been explained in different ways.<ref name="CN 1019-07-06">{{Cite news |last=McCombs |first=Al |date=July 6, 2019 |title=Where did Chino's name come from? |url=https://www.championnewspapers.com/opinion_and_commentary/rolltop_roundup/article_751091e2-9f3f-11e9-b2d5-c7f73955e3f6.html |access-date=April 10, 2023 |publisher=Champion Newspapers |language=en}}</ref> One explanation is that the "Chino" (curly-haired person or mixed-race person) was the chief of the local Native American village.<ref>{{Cite book

==History==
The [[Tongva people|Tongva]] had a settlement called [[Wapijanga|Wapijangna]] in the [[Santa Ana River]] watershed. Some residents of Wapijanga were baptized at [[Mission San Gabriel]], which was established in 1771. The Spanish crown claimed the land until Mexican independence was finalized and possession fell to the Mexican government.

Some twenty years later, [[List of pre-statehood governors of California|Mexican governor]] of Alta California [[Juan Bautista Alvarado]] granted [[Rancho Santa Ana del Chino]] to [[Antonio Maria Lugo]] of the Lugo family. Two years later, his successor, Governor [[Manuel Micheltorena|Micheltorena]], granted an additional three leagues to Lugo's son-in-law [[Isaac Williams (rancher)|Isaac Williams]], who took charge of the rancho. Williams kept large quantities of horses and cattle, which attracted the envy of raiding Native Americans as well as unscrupulous whites. One of the latter was [[James Beckwourth]], who, in 1840, posed as an [[otter]] hunter and stayed at Rancho Chino to determine the location of the area's animals, which he then reported to [[Walkara]], the [[Ute Tribe|Ute]] mastermind of the raids.

Early in the [[Mexican–American War]], the [[Battle of Chino]] took place at Williams' rancho.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/104356012/cecilia-rasmussen-a-family-caught-in/|first=Cecilia|last=Rasmussen|title=A Family Caught in the Middle of a War|work=Los Angeles Times|date=February 11, 2001|access-date=June 24, 2022|page=B13|via=Newspapers.com}}</ref> The battle ended prior to the arrival of the [[Mormon Battalion]], dispatched on behalf of the United States, who instead labored in the rancho's agricultural harvest and constructed a [[grist mill]].

During the [[California Gold Rush]], the rancho was a popular stopover for travelers, and in the mining fury, coal was discovered there. In 1850, California was admitted to the union, and the process of separating privately held lands from the public domain began. The Williams claim to the Chino Rancho was patented in 1869.

Richard Gird was the next owner of the Rancho. Beginning in 1887, his land was subdivided and laid out. It became the "Town of Chino", and incorporated into a city in 1910.<ref name="PD">{{Cite web

  }}</ref> Sugar beets, corn, and alfalfa were raised there.

The Chino Valley, located at the foot of an alluvial plain with fertile topsoil reaching depths of {{convert|4|ft|m}}, was an agricultural mecca from the 1890s up through the mid-20th century. Sugar beets were a significant part of the economy in the early 1900s, followed by sweet corn (marketed as "Chino corn" throughout the Pacific coast area), peaches, walnuts, tomatoes, and strawberries. The city's official logo/crest features an overflowing cornucopia.

The dairy industry flourished from the 1950s through the 1980s, with dairy-friendly zoning in the southwest corner of San Bernardino County encouraging many ethnic Dutch families to locate there and become the cornerstone of the industry. Chino's large, highly efficient dairies made it the largest milk-producing community in the nation's largest milk-producing state.

Because of its pastoral setting and rural flavor, Chino was a popular site for Hollywood crews to shoot "Midwestern" settings. 1960s movies included ''[[Bus Riley's Back in Town]]'' starring [[Ann-Margret]] and [[Michael Parks]];<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/104342830/film-stars-invade-valley/|title=Film Stars Invade Valley|work=Progress-Bulletin (Pomona, California)|date=April 3, 1964|access-date=June 24, 2022|page=2:3|via=Newspapers.com}}</ref> ''[[The Stripper (film)|The Stripper]]'', with [[Joanne Woodward]]; and the mid-1960s TV series ''[[Twelve O'Clock High (TV series)|Twelve O'Clock High]]'', refashioning Chino's rural airport into a British airfield with [[quonset hut]]s among farm fields.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/104355168/marty-ott-star-of-tv-series-being/|first=Marty|last=Ott|title=Star Of TV Series Being Filmed At Chino Airport A Seasoned Actor|work=Chino Champion|date=January 13, 1965|access-date=June 24, 2022|page=B3|via=Newspapers.com}}</ref>

In the 1970s, Chino developed into a small [[suburb]]an city, forming the western anchor of the [[Inland Empire (California)|Inland Empire]] region, and now the city's development has gradually taken on a more middle-class character. There are still many industrial areas as well as farm animals such as goats and chickens. According to the 2004 [[Uniform Crime Reports|FBI UCR]], the city had about 3.6 violent crimes per 1,000 population, which is typical for an American suburb, and its property crime below average.

On July 11, 2017, in a special election, Chino voters voted against Measure H, which would have allowed {{convert|30|acres|ha}} of rural land located near [[Ontario, California|Ontario]] to be used to build a total of 180 new homes by home builder [[D.R. Horton]].<ref>{{Cite web|last=Venturi|date=July 15, 2017|title=In Historic Chino Vote, D.R.
