Welcome to Upland
Upland is a private and leisurely town within the foothills of San Bernardino County. Sitting at the base of the San Gabriel Mountains, the moment you step foot in Upland, you will be stunned by the beauty surrounding you. The city is best known for maintaining its small-town charm while also absorbing the cultural influence of its large neighbor to the west, Los Angeles.
Upland was initially known as an area that thrived in citrus production and thus took shape as a small rural town centered around agriculture. However, as the city developed a strong residential and retail community, it continued to expand. Nicknamed the City of Gracious Living, Upland remains a popular destination to live and work.
