The site of the city was named by Spanish Franciscan missionaries because they arrived in 1810 on the feast day of San Bernardino of Siena. Mormon settlers came to the area in the 1850s and plotted the community; city incorporation took place in 1854. The city is located in what is known locally as the Inland Empire, one of the fastest-growing regions in the nation in the late 1980s. Revitalization of the downtown area was underway in the mid-1990s. The San Bernardino International Airport and Trade Center, which includes commercial and industrial complexes and a world trade center, is located on the site of the former Norton Air Force Base, which closed in 1994.

San Bernardino covers a land area of 59 sq mi, with a mean elevation of 1,077 ft. According to the 2000 census, whites are 45.2 percent of the population, blacks 16.4 percent, Asians 4.2 percent, Native Americans 1.4 percent, and Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders 0.4 percent. The remainder are of mixed heritage or did not report ethnicity.
