Roughly one million illegal immigrants are thought to live in Los Angeles County, but the Urban Institute estimates that this number is declining. There are two reasons for this change. The first is that many illegal immigrants now avoid Los Angeles, and instead head to Midwestern and southern states such as Ohio, Georgia and Texas. The second reason is that many are leaving the city. San Bernardino, for example, is currently 56% Hispanic, and growing. The migrants are lured partly by a boom in unskilled jobs and since San Bernardino and Riverside Counties process much of the cargo that arrives in the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach they have created manufacturing jobs. Housing is less expensive elsewhere, and schools are better with fewer gang problems. 04/26/2007

In 1910, the first National Orange Show was conceived by a group of civic-minded San Bernardino businessmen as a means of encouraging the culture of citrus fruits and promoting the distribution of the "exotic crop" throughout the world. That first tiny citrus fair was held March 6th through March 11th, 1911. Exhibits packed two canvas tents in a vacant lot at 4th & "E" Streets. The two tents covered about 8000 square feet. Rain fell continuously during the five-day event, but that didn't seem to have an affect. More than 3000 people attended that year. (Inside the First National Orange Show, 1911)(A citrus exhibit during the 1913, National Orange Show)In the following years, it came to be called "California's Greatest Midwinter Event."
