'''Muscoy''' is a [[census-designated place]] (CDP) in [[San Bernardino County, California|San Bernardino County]], [[California]], United States. The population was 10,644 at the 2010 census, up from 8,919 at the 2000 census. Muscoy shares [[ZIP code]] 92407 with the communities of [[Verdemont, San Bernardino, California|Verdemont]], [[Devore, California|Devore Heights]], Rosena Ranch and Arrowhead Farms in northwestern [[San Bernardino, California|San Bernardino]]. Residents enjoy a semi-rural setting with large lots where they can raise horses and other livestock, nursery plants, and fruit trees.  For this reason, much of Muscoy is included in the county Additional Agriculture (AA) overlay, which specifies the types and quantities of animals that may be kept on each parcel.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.sbcounty.gov/landuseservices/DevCode/2007_Development_Code_08-20-09.pdf|title=San Bernardino County|access-date=28 December 2014}}</ref> A distinctive feature of Muscoy life today is motor vehicles and equestrians sharing the roadways.

==History==
Muscoy was developed in the mid-1890s as a community designed to accommodate family agricultural
enterprises. Roads and water service were developed to serve one to ten acre parcels. Vineyards, orchards and various field crops were planted and cultivated. After [[World War II]], population growth accelerated and the area began a transition from agricultural use to a more suburban residential character. During the 1950s and 1960s, the San Bernardino area became a popular stop during road trips. This resulted in more shops opening up to serve the needs of travelers, and more people establishing permanent residences around the Muscoy area.<ref>{{Cite web  | title = Muscoy Community Plan  | publisher = [[San Bernardino County]]  | date = April 12, 2007  | url = http://www.co.san-bernardino.ca.us/landuseservices/Community%20Plans/Adopted%20Plans/MuscoyCP-Adopted.pdf  | format = PDF  | access-date = December 6, 2009  | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110604005530/http://www.co.san-bernardino.ca.us/landuseservices/Community%20Plans/Adopted%20Plans/MuscoyCP-Adopted.pdf  | archive-date = June 4, 2011  | url-status = dead  }}</ref> In 1989, a gasoline pipeline explosion caused two deaths.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1989-05-25-mn-1056-story.html|title=Blast Burns 10 Homes; 2 Die :  Gas Explosion at Crash Site of Runaway Train|first=Jenifer|last=Warren|date=25 May 1989|access-date=19 April 2018|via=LA Times}}</ref>
