Inland Empire images

Inland Empire Images presents a beautiful selection of pictures from across Southern California's Inland Empire. Separated into 4 categories, Claremont, Ontario, Fontana and San Bernardino, these photos are a stunning window into our past. Citrus groves, vineyards, elegant hotels, fabulous houses, steam trains, stagecoaches and trolleys, the IE was the beautiful, iconic west that attracted the millions of transplants that now call Southern Cal home. These images are a testament to an elegance and beauty not associated with the Inland Empire. Yes, before the Inland Empire surrendered that past to reckless hit and run development, there was a rich, pioneering history. Before the headlong rush to bulldoze every cultural monument in the Inland Empire, there was a history and these photos tell a bit of the story.

This is an evolving collection, growing by the day. If you have enjoyed this site, please tell your friends and come back often. Thanks for visiting.

About these Pictures

These images are from the Indian Hill Media collection of historic postcards and photos. They date from the end of the 19th century and cover the development of California's "Inland Empire" from the 1890's through the 1970's. In some cases the
hand tinting common in postcards of past era's has been removed to reveal the original photo. All photos are retouched to remove blemishes, handwriting, and to restore lost contrast, remove yellowing and other artifacts of age in our attempt to restore the photo to it's original glory..
