Fontana was founded in 1913 by A.B. (Azarial Blanchard) Miller, d. 1878-1941. Miller first purchased the 17,000 acres of land in 1906, a year after he began working it. Miller envisioned a booming agricultural town complete with citrus orchards, cattle and poultry farms situated along Route 66. With the formation of the Fontana Land Company in 1914 and Fontana Farms Company in 1918, Miller’s vision began to come to fruition. The Los Angeles Times printed numerous articles regarding A.B. Miller, Fontana Farms and Fontana Land companies from 1914 to 1937; articles specific to poultry farming and egg production date from 1925 to 1931.
