Notes
  • Significance: Euclid Avenue is significant in three areas: community planning, landscape architecture, and transportation. Each reflect the vision of George and William Chaffey, who designed the avenue and oversaw its construction - a vision continued by citizens of the communities of Upland and Ontario for the last 100 years. Euclid Avenue is the core entity from which these two distinct communities emerged, and it remains the primary link between them. It is the oldest landmark in Ontario and Upland. The street was found eligible for the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. Construction of Euclid Avenue fulfilled a primary design goal of the Chaffeys for the Ontario Colony by providing a main thoroughfare from one end of the settlement to the other. Their intent was to lay out and landscape the boulevard in such a way that it would remain a beautiful enhancement to the community. The boulevard was thus a basic element in the original community plan. The associated trolley line served as a public transportation system for both communities. Its rows of trees, a basic element of the street as designed by George Chaffey, have brought both communities national recognition. For years the boulevard was regarded as one of the most remarkable landscape architectural achievements of its era. The society that existed in the inland citrus belt of San Bernadino, Los Angeles, and Riverside counties has largely been engulfed by urban growth and the large groves have been replaced by residential development. Euclid Avenue remains a testimony to the unique type of community that evolved with the citrus industry of San Bernandino County during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
