Reche Canyon
Reche Canyon (historically known as Homhoa Canyon, Homoa Canyon, and Homuba Canyon) is a canyon in the far northwestern foothills of the San Jacinto Mountains, northwest of The Badlands in the Inland Empire region of Southern California. The Tongva village of Homhoangna, from which the canyon's alternative names derives, was located here. The county line between San Bernardino County and Riverside County is at the approximate midway point of the canyon; the San Bernardino half to the north is mostly within the boundaries of Colton, with a small area in Loma Linda, while the southern half is unincorporated territory of Riverside County. Reche Canyon Elementary School is located in the northern part of the canyon. History The canyon is said to be named for a 49er named Anthony Reche, who initially settled in Fallbrook and moved to the canyon in 1875. & Reche had 160 acres on which he farmed and "raised bees." In the 1890s, a settler named John Console built a one-room schoo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Colton, California
Colton is a city in San Bernardino County, California, United States. Nicknamed "Hub City", Colton is located in the Inland Empire region of the state and is a suburb of San Bernardino, approximately south of the city's downtown. The population of Colton is 53,909 according to the 2020 census, up from 52,154 at the 2010 census. Colton is the site of Colton Crossing, which was one of the busiest at-grade railroad crossings in the United States. The crossing was installed in 1882 by the California Southern Railroad to cross the Southern Pacific Railroad tracks while building northward from San Diego. As a result of railroad acquisitions and mergers, this became the point at which the Burlington Northern Santa Fe's "Southern Transcontinental Route" crossed the Union Pacific's "Sunset Route". As traffic on each line began to soar in the mid-1990s, fueled largely by the vast increase in imports passing through the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, the primitive crossing became ...

Console Springs
Console Springs was a natural spring in Reche Canyon, Riverside County (originally San Bernardino County), California, United States. The waters were bottled for sale in the early 20th century. History The springs were named for the Console family that owned them. John Console (~1862–1926) settled in the canyon in 1894. Console built the canyon schoolhouse; water for the students was toted from the spring. Console sold the bottled water out of a "wagon on 3rd Street" but "sales were slow." He also sold holly (possibly actually native toyon) out of his wagon around Christmastime. A native of Sicily, Console was a stone mason by trade. There was no associated resort hotel but circa 1914 there were campsites nearby for visitors. California boosters claimed the spring water had medicinal value and would be beneficial for people with rheumatism, Bright's disease, and liver disorders. In 1976, Console's son recalled, "We used to have a tent set up at the spring and doctors would b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Tongva Language
The Tongva language (also known as Gabrielino, Gabrieleño, or Kizh) is an extinct and revitalizing Uto-Aztecan language spoken by the Tongva, a Native American people who have lived in and around modern-day Los Angeles for centuries. It has not been a language of everyday conversation since the 1940s.

Presently, Gabrielino is also being used in language revitalization classes and in some public discussion regarding religious and environmental issues. Tongva is closely related to Serrano. The names of several cities and neighborhoods in Southern California are of Tongva origin, and include Pacoima, Tujunga, Topanga, Azusa, ''Cahuenga'' in Cahuenga Pass and ''Cucamonga'' in Rancho Cucamonga.
